Abstract

We consider a viscous incompressible fluid moving in a two-dimensional flat torus. We show a particular external forcef 0 for which there is a globally attractive stationary state for any Reynolds numberR. Moreover, for any fixedR, this stability property holds also for a neighbourhood off 0.
