Abstract

A classical result of Amick (Acta Math 161:71–130, 1988) on the nontriviality of the symmetric Leray solutions of the steady-state Navier–Stokes equations in the plane is extended to Lipschitz domains. This results is compared with the famous Stokes paradox of linearized hydrodynamics and applied to a mixed problem of some interest in the applications.
