First, the existence and structure of uniform attractors in H is proved for nonautonomous 2D Navier–Stokes equations on bounded domain with a new class of distribution forces, termed normal in L loc 2 ( R ; V ′ ) (see Definition 3.1), which are translation bounded but not translation compact in L loc 2 ( R ; V ′ ) . Then, the properties of the kernel section are investigated. Last, the fractal dimension is estimated for the kernel sections of the uniform attractors obtained.
