We consider the two-dimensional motion of a Navier-Stokes liquid in the whole plane, under the action of a time-periodic body force $F$ of period $T$, and tending to a prescribed nonzero constant velocity at infinity. We show that if the magnitude of $F$, in suitable norm, is sufficiently small, there exists one and only one corresponding time-periodic flow of period $T$ in an appropriate function class.
Keywords: Navier-Stokes equations, time-periodic solutions, plane flow..
