The results suggest that the helicity change rate rather than the magnitude of the helicity itself affects regularity of the viscous incompressible flows. More precisely, an initially regular viscous incompressible flow with suitably small positive or negative maximal helical component does not lose its regularity as long as the total helical behavior of the flow with respect to time is not decreasing, or even weakened at a moderate rate in accordance with the initial kinetic energy and viscosity.
