Synopsis

This paper, although self-contained, is a continuation of the work done in [8], where the motion of a viscous, incompressible fluid is considered in conjunction with the rotation of a rigid body which is immersed in the fluid. The resulting mathematical model is a Navier-Stokes problem with dynamic boundary conditions. In [8] a unique L2,3 solution is constructed under certain regularity assumptions on the initial states. In this paper we consider the Navier-Stokes problem with dynamic boundary conditions in the Lebesgue spaces Lr,3 (3<r<∞) and prove the existence of a unique solution, local in time, without imposing any regularity conditions on the initial states.
