We seek a couple (u, p) defined in Λ as

 u−(x), x ∈ Λ−  p−(x), x ∈ Λ−
 

u(x) = u0(x), x ∈ Ω and p(x) = p0(x), x ∈ Ω

 u+(x), x ∈ Λ+  p+(x), x ∈ Λ+

where the pairs (u−, p−), (u0, p0) and (u+, p+) satisfy the following system

 −ν∆u± + ∇p± = 0 in Λ±,
 in Ω,
in Λ±,
 −ν∆u0 + ∇p0 = 0 in Ω,
 on ∂Y
 on Γ−,
 on Γ+,

 ∇ · u± = 0




(S) ∇ · u0 = 0

 u0 = 0



 σ(u−, p−) · n = σ(u0, p0) · n + ν g




 σ(u0, p0) · n = σ(u+, p+) · n + ν h


with (u−, p−) and (u+, p+) are periodic with respect to y1 and y2, with periods l1 and l2. Here
ν > 0 is the viscosity parameter and n is the unit normal vector on Γ− (resp. Γ+) external to
Λ− (resp. Ω), i.e. n = (0, 0, 1). The vector functions g = (g , 0) and h = (h , 0) are supposed
to be given in suitable function spaces.

We study the existence and uniqueness of a solution (u, p) to the system (S) which decays
exponentially fast, as well as all its derivatives, as y3 → ±∞.

The main result of this work is the following:

Theorem. Suppose that

g ∈ (Hp−e1r/2(Γ−))3, g3 = 0, h ∈ (Hp−e1r/2(Γ+))3, h3 = 0.

There exists a unique solution of the system (S) (up to an additive constant for the pressures)

satisfying

u ∈ Hp1er,loc(Λ) 3 , ∇u− ∈ L2(Λ) 9 , p− ∈ L2per,loc(Λ).

Moreover, let δ > 1 and let β± be the mean of the velocity over cross sections of Λ±, i.e.

1 u−(y , −δ) dy , 1 u+(y , δ) dy .
β− = |S| β+ = |S|
S S

The following decay estimates hold:

• for any α ∈ N3, y ∈ S, y3 ≤ −δ,

|∂α(u − β−)(y , y3)| + |∂αp(y , y3)| ≤ C(δ, α) g ( )H−1/2(Γ−) 3 exp (c y3);
• for any α ∈ N3, y ∈ S, y3 ≥ δ,

|∂α(u − β+)| + |∂αp(y , y3)| ≤ C(δ, α) h ( )H−1/2(Γ+) 3 exp (−c y3),

where c > 0 is a constant independent of the data and C(δ, α) is a constant depending only on
δ and α. The subscript “per” denotes periodic Sobolev Spaces.

This work answers a question addressed to the author by G. Panasenko. It will be be used
in a forthcoming work to build boundary layers correctors in an homogenization framework.
