Motivated by rotating fluids, we study incompressible fluids with anisotrop
ic viscosity. We use anisotropic spaces that enable us to prove existence t
heorems for less regular initial data than usual. In the case of rotating f
luids, in the whole space, we prove Strichartz-type anisotropic, dispersive
estimates which allow us to prove global wellposedness for fast enough rot
ation.
