Abstract

We consider solutions to the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations on the periodic domain with potential body forces. Let denote the set of all initial data that lead to regular solutions. Our main result is to construct a suitable Banach space such that the normalization map is continuous, and such that the normal form of the Navier–Stokes equations is a well-posed system in all of . We also show that may be seen as a subset of a larger Banach space and that the extended Navier–Stokes equations, which are known to have global solutions, are well-posed in .
