In this paper we give optimal lower bounds for the blow-up rate of the $dot{H}^{s}left(mathbb{T}^3right)$-norm, $frac{1}{2}<s<frac{5}{2}$, of a putative singular solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, and we also present an elementary proof for a lower bound on blow-up rate of the Sobolev norms of possible singular solutions to the Euler equations when $s>frac{5}{2}$.
