Abstract
The Stokes equations were studied and full characterizations of the homogeneous Stokes solutions in the exterior domains were presented. For small Reynolds number, the solution of the Stokes equation provides good approximation to the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for the near body region. Whereas, all the Stokes solutions cannot account for the behavior of real fluids at infinity. The asymptotic behavior of the generalized solution was decided by the homogeneous Sobolev norms.
