Abstract

Following Ebin and Marsden the Navier-Stokes equation is viewed as a perturbation of a geodesic flow on the group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms on a compact Riemannian manifold. Existence and uniqueness of bounded solutions for all position time is shown by taking a higher order diffusion term.
