Partial boundary regularity for the Navier-Stokes equations in time-dependent domains

Abstract

We consider the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a moving domain whose boundary is prescribed by a function η=η(t,y)\eta=\eta(t,y) (with yR2y\in\mathbb R^2) of low regularity. This is motivated by problems from fluid-structure interaction. We prove partial boundary regularity for boundary suitable weak solutions assuming that η\eta is continuous in time with values in the fractional Sobolev space Wy21/p,pW^{2-1/p,p}_y for some p>15/4p>15/4 and we have tηLt3(Wy1,q0)\partial_t\eta\in L_t^{3}(W^{1,q_0}_y) for some q0>2q_0>2. The existence of boundary suitable weak solutions is a consequence of a new maximal regularity result for the Stokes equations in moving domains which is of independent interest.
