Abstract: In [Math. Ann. 336 (2006), 449-489], the authors consider the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the exterior of an obstacle shrinking to a point and determine the limit velocity. Here we consider the same problem in the three-dimensional case, proving that the limit velocity is a solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in the full space.
