Abstract: | . We study the evolution of a finite number of rigid bodies within a viscous incompressible fluid in a bounded domain of with Dirichlet boundary conditions. By introducing an appropriate weak formulation for the complete problem, we prove existence of solutions for initial velocities in . In the absence of collisions, solutions exist for all time in dimension 2, whereas in dimension 3 the lifespan of solutions is infinite only for small enough data. (Accepted June 10, 1998) |
