Abstract
A time-dependent system modeling the interaction between a Stokes fluid and an elastic structure is studied. A divergence-free weak formulation is introduced which does not involve the fluid pressure field. The existence and uniqueness of a weak solution is proved. Strong energy estimates are derived under additional assumptions on the data. The existence of an L2 integrable pressure field is established after the verification of an inf-sup condition.
