On nonstationary Stokes flow past an obstacle
Abstract
A class of nonstationary solutions of the Stokes equation is evaluated for the case when the behavior at infinity is similar to the stationary solutions with finite Dirichlet integral. A natural solution class is presented for the initial boundary value problem of an exterior domain, the existence and uniqueness questions are treated, and finally the convergence of nonstationary solutions to stationary ones as time tends to infinity is proven.
