Abstract
We start this chapter from necessary background on the theory of fractal dimension. Next, we formulate and study a problem which models the two-dimensional boundary driven shear flow in lubrication theory. After the derivation of the energy dissipation rate estimate and a version of Lieb–Thirring inequality we provide an estimate from above on the global attractor fractal dimension.
