Abstract

We consider the Navier-Stokes system with slowly decaying external forces[formula]We show that the energy norm of a weak solution has non-uniform decay,||u(t)||2→0 (t→∞),under suitable conditions on the data f and a which make the energy of solution bounded in time. Also, we show the exact rate of the decay (uniform decay) of the energy,||u(t)||2≤C(1+t),for external forces with a given explicit decay rate.
