Abstract

A body \(\mathscr {B}\) is started from rest by a translational motion in an otherwise quiescent Navier–Stokes liquid filling the whole space. We show, for small data, that if after some time \(\mathscr {B}\) reaches a spinless oscillatory motion of period \(\mathcal T\), the liquid will eventually execute also a time periodic motion with the same period \(\mathcal T\). This result is a suitable generalization of the famous Finn’s starting problem for steady states, to the case of time-periodic motions.
