The maximum regularity property of the steady Stokes problem associated with a flow through a profile cascade (Q2036012)

Let \(A_0A_1B_1B_0\) denote a curvilinear rectangle with two opposite sides lying on the lines \(x_1=0\) and \(x_1=d>0\). Let \(P_0\) denote a smooth simply connected domain which belongs to the rectangle, \(\Omega\) be the complement of \(P_0\) to the rectangle. The domains \(P_0\) is periodically continued in the \(x_2\)-direction. The authors consider the periodic two-dimensional boundary value problem for the stationary Stokes equations with the given velocity \(\mathbf u\) on \(A_0A_1\) and \(B_0B_1\) and \(\mathbf u = \mathbf 0\) on \(\partial P_0\). The existence of weak and strong solutions is verified.
