Abstract: We prove that the Burgers flow with a steady external forcing has a unique steady state which is a sink. Although this flow cannot be linearized through Cole-Hopf transforms, we prove that it has a convergent Koopman Modes decomposition. This gives an asymptotic formula for solutions of the Burgers equation with an external force. Time dependence and the coefficients of the decomposition are proved to be eigenvalues and eigenfunctionals of the Koopman operator. Convergence of the Koopman decomposition is proved for orbits close to the sink. The analysis of Burgers dynamical system relies on the properties of a nonlinear heat flow, that shows invariant sets with complete orbits, and invariant sets where blow-up in finite time do ocurr. This behaviour helps understanding some instabilities in numeric computing for fluids.
