Existence and regularity of pullback attractors for a 3D non-autonomous Navier–Stokes–Voigt model with finite delay by Julia García-Luengo, Pedro Marín-Rubio

“…In this manuscript previous results [Nonlinearity 25(2012), 905–930] are extended to a non-autonomous 3D Navier–Stokes–Voigt model in which a forcing term contains memory effects. Under suitable assumptions on the function driving the delay time, the existence and uniqueness of weak solution are proved. …”
