Abstract

In this paper we take a new approach to a proof of existence and uniqueness of solutions for the 3D-Navier-Stokes equations, which leads to essentially the same proof for both bounded and unbounded domains and for homogeneous or inhomogeneous incompressible fluids. Our approach is to construct the largest separable Hilbert space \bfSD²[\R³], for which the Leray-Hopf (type) solutions in L²[\mathbb R³] are strong solutions in \bfSD²[\R³]. We say Leray-Hopf type because our solutions are weak in the spatial sense but not in time.
