Abstract

This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of solutions for a non-autonomous incompressible non-Newtonian fluid on two-dimensional unbounded domains. We first prove the existences of the $L^2$-regularity uniform attractors $\mathcal{A}^H_{\mathcal{H}(g_0)}$ and $H^2$-regularity uniform attractor $\mathcal{A}^V_{\mathcal{H}(g_0)}$, respectively. Then we establish the regularity of the uniform attractors by showing$$\mathcal{A}^H_{\mathcal{H}(g_0)}=\mathcal{A}^V_{\mathcal{H}(g_0)},$$which implies the uniform (with respect to the external forces) asymptotic smoothing effect of the non-autonomous fluid in the sense that the solutions become eventually more regular than the initial data.
