Abstract

We prove existence on infinite time intervals of regular solutions to the 3D rotating Navier-Stokes equations in the limit of strong rotation (large Coriolis parameter Ω). This uniform existence is proven for periodic or stress-free boundary conditions for all domain aspect ratios, including the case of three wave resonances which yield nonlinear 2 1/2-dimensional limit equations; smoothness assumptions are the same as for local existence theorems. The global existence is proven using techniques of the Littlewood-Paley dyadic decomposition. Infinite time regularity for solutions of the 3D rotating Navier-Stokes equations is obtained by bootstrapping from global regularity of the limit equations and convergence theorems.
