In this paper, we give a new derivation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ via the Bellman dynamic programming principle on the infinite dimensional group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms $G={\rm SDiff}(M)$. In particular, when the viscosity vanishes, we give a new derivation of the incompressible Euler equation on a compact Riemannian manifold. The main result of this paper indicates an interesting relationship between the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on $M$ and the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation on $G={\rm SDiff}(M)$. |
