Abstract:
We consider the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes initial value problem in the exterior of a rotating obstacle. It is proved that a unique solution exists locally in time if the initial velocity possesses the regularity L 1/2. This regularity assumption is the same as that in the famous paper of Fujita & Kato. An essential step for the proof is the deduction of a certain smoothing property together with estimates near t≡0 of the semigroup, which is not an analytic one, generated by the operator in the space L 2, where ω stands for the angular velocity of the rotating obstacle and P denotes the projection associated with the Helmholtz decomposition.
