A Tamed 3D Navier-Stokes Equation in Domains

In this paper, we analyze a tamed 3D Navier-Stokes equation in uniform $C^2$-domains (not necessarily bounded), which obeys the scaling invariance principle, and prove the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to this tamed equation. In particular, if there exists a bounded solution to the classical 3D Navier-Stokes equation, then this solution satisfies our tamed equation. Moreover, the existence of a global attractor for the tamed equation in bounded domains is also proved. As simple applications, some well known results for the classical Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains are covered.
