Abstract.
We present the description of the spectrum of a linear perturbed Oseen-type operator which arises from equations of motion of a viscous incompressible fluid in the exterior of a rotating compact body. Considering the operator in the function space L 2 σ(Ω) we prove that the essential spectrum consists of an infinite set of overlapping parabolic regions in the left half-plane of the complex plane. Our approach is based on a reduction to invariant closed subspaces of L 2 σ(Ω) and on a Fourier series expansion with respect to an angular variable in a cylindrical coordinate system attached to the axis of rotation.
