Abstract
Consider the Navier-Stokes flow past a rotating obstacle with a general time-dependent angular velocity and a time-dependent outflow condition at infinity. After rewriting the problem on a fixed domain, one obtains a non-autonomous system of equations with unbounded drift terms. It is shown that the solution to a model problem in the whole space case Rd is governed by a strongly continuous evolution system on Lpσ(Rd) for 1 < p < ∞. The strategy is to derive a representation formula, similar to the one known in the case of non-autonomous Ornstein-Uhlenbeck equations. This explicit formula allows to prove Lp-Lq estimates and gradient estimates for the evolution system. These results are key ingredients to obtain (local) mild solutions to the full nonlinear problem by a version of Kato's iteration scheme.
