Abstract: We consider the steady-state Navier-Stokes equation in the whole space mathbbR3 driven by a forcing function f. The class of source functions f under consideration yield the existence of at least one solution with finite Dirichlet integral (|ablaU|2<infty). Under the additional assumptions that f is absent of low modes and the ratio of f to viscosity is sufficiently small in a natural norm we construct solutions which have finite energy (finite L2 norm). These solutions are unique among all solutions with finite energy and finite Dirichlet integral. The constructed solutions are also shown to be stable in the following sense: If U is such a solution then any viscous, incompressible flow in the whole space, driven by f and starting with finite energy, will return to U.
