Abstract
Unsteady analytical solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equa tions are presented. They are fully three-dimensional vector solutions involving all three Cartesian velocity components, each of which depe nds non-trivially on all three co-ordinate directions. Although unlike ly to be physically realized, they are well suited for benchmarking, t esting and validation of three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stoke s solvers. The use of such a solution for benchmarking purposes is des cribed.
