Abstract

We consider the Stokes equations in an unbounded domain $\omega_{\epsilon,\eta}$ perforated by small obstacles, where $\epsilon$ represents the minimal distance between obstacles and $\eta$ is the ratio between the obstacle size and $\epsilon$. We are able to obtain uniform $W^{1,q}$ estimates for solutions to the Stokes equations in such domains with bounding constants depending explicitly on $\epsilon$ and $\eta$.
