Unbounded-energy solutions to the fluid+disk system and long-time behavior for large initial data by Ferriere, Guillaume, Hillairet, Matthieu

“…In comparison with the classical nonlinearities, this new term lacks time and space integrability, thus complicating strongly the analysis of the long-time behavior of solutions.We provide herein two refined tools: a refined analysis of the Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities and a thorough description of fractional powers of the so-called fluid-structure operator [2]. On the basis of these two tools we extend decay estimates obtained in [4] to arbitrary initial data and show local stability of the Lamb-Oseen vortex in the spirit of [7, 8].…”
