"L^p-Theory of the Navier-Stokes flow past rotating or moving obstacles"
ABSTRACT:
In this talk we consider the equation of Navier-Stokes in the exterior of a rotating or moving domain. Using techniques from the analysis of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators it is shown that, after rewriting the problem on a fixed domain $\Omega$, the solution of the linearized equation is governed by a $C_0$-semigroup on $L^p_\sigma(\Omega)$ for $1<p<\infty$ with generator $Au=P(\Delta u +Mx\cdot \nabla u - Mu)$. Moreover, for $p\geq n$ and initial data $u_0 \in L^p_\sigma(\Omega)$ we prove the existence of a unique local mild solution of the Navier-Stokes problem.
