Our aim in this article is to derive an upper bound on the dimension of the
attractor for Navier-Stokes equations with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions.
In space dimension two, for flows in general domains with prescribed tangential
velocity at the boundary, we obtain a bound on the dimension of the attractor of
the form $c\mathcal{R} e^{3/2}$, where $\mathcal{R} e$ is the Reynolds number. This
improves significantly on previous bounds which were exponential in $\mathcal{R} e$.
