Convergence rates and $W^{1,p}$ estimates in homogenization theory of   Stokes systems in Lipschitz domains
  Concerned with the Stokes systems with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients, we mainly extend the recent works in \cite{SGZWS,G} to those in term of Lipschitz domains.   The arguments employed here are quite different from theirs, and the basic idea comes from \cite{QX2}, originally motivated by \cite{SZW2,SZW12,TS}. We obtain an almost-sharp $O(\varepsilon\ln(r_0/\varepsilon))$ convergence rate in $L^2$ space, and a sharp $O(\varepsilon)$ error estimate in $L^{\frac{2d}{d-1}}$ space by a little stronger assumption.   Under the dimensional condition $d=2$, we also establish the optimal $O(\varepsilon)$ convergence rate on pressure terms in $L^2$ space. Then utilizing the convergence rates we can derive the $W^{1,p}$ estimates uniformly down to microscopic scale $\varepsilon$ without any smoothness assumption on the coefficients, where $|\frac{1}{p}-\frac{1}{2}|<\frac{1}{2d}+\epsilon$ and $\epsilon$ is a positive constant independent of $\varepsilon$. Combining the local estimates, based upon $\text{VMO}$ coefficients, consequently leads to the uniform $W^{1,p}$ estimates. Here the proofs do not rely on the well known compactness methods.
