In this note we establish a density result for certain stationary shear flows, µ(y), that vanish at the boundaries of a horizontal channel. We construct stationary solutions to 2D Navier-Stokes that are ε-close in L ∞ to the given shear flow. Our construction is based on a coercivity estimate for the Rayleigh operator, R [v], which is based on a decomposition made possible by the vanishing of µ at the boundaries.
