Abstract: We study the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a smooth bounded domain $Omega$ with initial velocity $u_0$ square-integrable, divergence-free and tangent to $partialOmega$. We supplement the equations with the Navier friction boundary conditions $ucdotn=0$ and $[(2Su)n+alphau{]}_{tang}=0$, where $n$ is the unit exterior normal to $partialOmega$, $Su=(Du+(Du{)}^t)/2$, $alphain{C}^0(partialOmega)$ is the boundary friction coefficient and $[cdot{]}_{tang}$ is the projection of its argument onto the tangent space of $partialOmega$. We prove global existence of a weak Leray-type solution to the resulting initial-boundary value problem and exponential decay in energy norm of these solutions when friction is positive. We also prove exponential decay if friction is non-negative and the domain is not a solid of revolution. In addition, in the frictionless case $alpha=0$, we prove convergence of the solution to a steady rigid rotation, if the domain is a solid of revolution. We use the Galerkin method for existence and Poincar'{e}-type inequalities for the exponential decay, with suitable adaptations to account for the differential geometry of the boundary.
