Abstract
This work explores Navier-Stokes equation with no gravitational forces. In short, it shows that any smooth solution that decays quickly must take the form u(x,t)−4π1Curl(∫R3∣x−x′∣Curl(u(x′,t))dV′)=−∫0tρ1Grad(Γ(x,s))ds. Consequently, any curl free solution must be written as u(x,t)=−ρ1Grad(∫0tΓ(x,s)ds) with Γ a known function which is related to the heat equation. Even further it shows if there exist a value k∈N such that curlk((u⋅∇)u)(x,t)=0 for all t′≤t then u(x,t)=Hk+1(ξ1,ξ2,ξ3,t)−∫0tρ1Grad(Γ(x,s))ds, t∈[t′,∞) with ξi(x,t):=∫R3α(x−y,νt)vik(x,0)dy, vik(x,0)=(curlk(u(x,0)))i, 1≤i≤3 and Hk the kth application of Helmholtz operator. Hence, if there is another solution where the non-linear term is infinitly curlable then the solution is not unique. If the solution is unique, then this is the only possible solution.
