Abstract

We consider an overdetermined system of elliptic partial differential equations arising in the Navier–Stokes equations. This analysis enables us to prove that the well-known classical solutions such as Couette flows and others are the only solutions that satisfy both the stationary Navier–Stokes and Euler equations.
