contents In this paper, we prove the existence and a partial regularity of a weak solution to the system governing the interaction between a rigid body and a viscous incompressible Newtonian fluid. The evolution of the system body-fluid is studied in a frame attached to the body. The choice of this special frame becomes critical from an analytical point of view due to the presence of the term $ω\times x\cdot\nabla u$ in the balance of momentum equation for the fluid. As a consequence, we are forced to look for a technique that is different from the ones usually employed both for the existence and for the partial regularity of a weak solution to the Navier-Stokes problem. Hence, we prove the existence of a weak solution in an original way and give a new proof of the celebrated Théorème de Structure due to Leray. However, the regularity obtained for our weak solution is only for large times, hence our result is weaker compared to the one obtained by Leray.
