Abstract

We study the two dimensional Navier–Stokes initial boundary value problem in exterior domains assuming that the initial data \(u_0\) belongs \(L^\infty \). The global (in time) unique existence of this problem is furnished. The behavior of \(||u(t)||_\infty \) for large t is of double exponential kind.
