Existence results for Leray’s problem have either assumed flux conditions beyond the general flux condition necessitated by compatibility constraints, or required size restrictions on the data.

Our final results adapt the NSE reformulation in Liu et al. (J Comput Phys 229(9):3428–3453, 2010) to recast our approximating system in a form potentially more adaptable to computation.
