Uniqueness and regularity of weak solutions of a fluid-rigid body interaction system under the Prodi-Serrin condition

In this article, we study the weak uniqueness and the regularity of the weak solutions of a fluid-structure interaction system. More precisely, we consider the motion of a rigid ball in a viscous incompressible fluid and we assume that the fluid-rigid body system fills the entire space $ \mathbb{R}^{3}. $ We prove that the corresponding weak solutions that additionally satisfy a classical Prodi-Serrin condition, including a critical one, are unique. We also show that the weak solutions are regular under the Prodi-Serrin conditions, with a smallness condition in the critical case.
