Abstract:
We consider a radial steady flow of an incompressible viscous fluid which either converges or diverges in a two dimensional wedge domain. We prove the existence of a solution to the stationary Navier-Stokes equations for the restricted flux condition which depends only on the angle of the wedge domain.

Keywords: Stationary Navier-Stokes equations, Jeffery-Hamel's flow.
