This chapter solves the underdetermined, elliptic equation ∂ⱼQsuperscript jl = Usuperscript l and Qsuperscript jl = Qsuperscript lj (Equation 1069) in order to eliminate the error term in the parametrix. For the proof of the Main Lemma, estimates for Q and the material derivative as well as its spatial derivatives are derived. The chapter finds a solution to Equation (1069) with good transport properties by solving it via a Transport equation obtained by commuting the divergence operator with the material derivative. It concludes by showing the solutions, spatial derivative estimates, and material derivative estimates for the Transport-Elliptic equation, as well as cutting off the solution to the Transport-Elliptic equation.

This chapter derives estimates for the coarse scale flow and commutator. Instead of mollifying the velocity field in the time variable, it derives a Transport equation for vsubscript Element and some estimates that will be necessary for the proof. Here the quadratic term arises from the failure of the nonlinearity to commute with the averaging. Commutator estimates are then derived. To observe cancellation in the quadratic term, the control over the higher-frequency part of v is used, and cancellation is obtained from the lower-frequency parts. It becomes clear that the commutator terms can be estimated using the control of only the derivatives of v. The chapter concludes by presenting the theorem for coarse scale flow estimates.

This chapter derives estimates for quantities which are transported by the coarse scale flow and for their derivatives. It first considers the phase functions which satisfy the Transport equation, with the goal of choosing the lifespan parameter τ‎ sufficiently small so that all the phase functions which appear in the analysis can be guaranteed to remain nonstationary in the time interval, and so that the Stress equation can be solved. In order for these requirements to be met, τ‎ small enough is chosen so that the gradients of the phase functions do not depart significantly from their initial configurations. The chapter presents a proposition that bounds the separation of the phase gradients from their initial values in terms of b (b is less than or equal to 1, a form related to τ‎). Finally, it gathers estimates for relative velocity and relative acceleration.
