Abstract
The steady-state or stationary Navier–Stokes equations describe steady-state flows. Such flow fields can be expected in practice if:
-
all data of the Navier–Stokes equations (2.25) do not depend on the time,
-
the viscosity ν is sufficiently large, or equivalently, the Reynolds number Re is sufficiently small,
see Remark 2.22.
