Instationary Generalized Stokes Equations in Partially Periodic Domains
Jonas Sauer · Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics · 2017
We consider an instationary generalized Stokes system with nonhomogeneous divergence data under a periodic condition in only some directions. The problem is set in the whole space, the half space or in (after an identification of the periodic directions with a torus) bounded domains with sufficiently regular boundary. We show unique solvability for all times in Muckenhoupt weighted Lebesgue spaces. The divergence condition is dealt with by analyzing the associated reduced Stokes system and in particular by showing maximal regularity of the partially periodic reduced Stokes operator.
