Let u be a vector field on a bounded domain in R^3. The absolute boundary condition states that both the normal part of u and the tangential part of curl(u) vanish on the boundary. After motivating the use of this condition in the context of the Navier Stokes equation, we prove local (in time) existence with this boundary behaviour. This work is together with Dr. Z. Qian and Prof. G. Q. Chen, Northwestern University.
