The author considers a viscous homogeneous incompressible fluid in a bounded domain \(D\) of \(\mathbb{R}^2\) with smooth boundary \(\partial D\). The motion of the fluid in the time interval \([t_0,T]\) is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations \[ \begin{cases} {\partial u(t,\xi)\over\partial t}-\Delta u(t,\xi)+ (u(t,\xi)\cdot \nabla)u(t,\xi)+\nabla p(t,\xi)= f(t,\xi)+ n(t,\xi),\\ \text{div }u(t,\xi)= 0,\end{cases}\tag{1} \] where \(u(t,\xi)= \{u_1(t,\xi), u_2(t,\xi)\}\) and \(p(t,\xi)\) denote the velocity and pressure fields of the fluid for \(\xi\in D\) and \(t\in [t_0, T]\), respectively. In this paper, the author shows that a well defined generalized solution exists for arbitrary large time. Even the long time behaviour of the system is well defined: there exists a unique invariant measure the convergence takes place, i.e., this measure represents the asymptotic equilibrium behaviour of the system (1).
