Abstract English In this work we study the fully nonhomogeneous initial boundary value problem for the two-dimensional time-dependent Navier–Stokes equations in a general open space domain in R2 with low regularity assumptions on the initial and the boundary value data. We show that the perturbed Navier–Stokes operator is a diffeomorphism from a suitable function space onto its own dual and as a corollary we get that the Navier–Stokes equations are uniquely solvable in these spaces and that the solution depends smoothly on all involved data. Our source data space and solution space are in complete natural duality and in this sense, without any smallness assumptions on the data, we solve the equations for data with optimally low regularity in both space and time.
