An Lp-theory for global weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in exterior domains
Abstract
In this paper, we consider the Navier-Stokes initial boundary value problem in exterior domains with initial data in the Lebesgue space Lp, p∈ (2,3), and show the existence of a global weak solution. For the quoted solution, we also furnish a structure theorem. In particular, we see that the weak solution becomes regular after a certain instant of time and it is also regular a. e. in time. Although a general Lp-theory for local strong/mild solutions is well-established in the literature, a corresponding theory for global weak solutions in exterior domains seems to be new. Of course, our results hold in the particular cases of the Cauchy problem and the initial boundary value problem in a half-space.
