ABSTRACT
The Navier-Stokes system of equations is reduced to a system of the vorticity, continuity, Helmholtz, and Lamb-Helmholtz equations. The periodic Dirichlet problems are formulated for internal waves vanishing at infinity in the upper and lower domains. Stationary kinematic Fourier (SKF) structures, stationary exponential kinematic Fourier (SKEF) structures, stationary dynamic exponential (SDEF) Fourier structures, and SKEF-SDEF structures of three spatial variables and time are constructed in the current paper to treat kinematic and dynamic problems of the three-di- mensional theory of the Newtonian flows with harmonic velocity. Two exact solutions for conservative interaction of N internal waves in three dimensions are developed by the method of decomposition in invariant structures and implemented through experimental and theoretical programming in Maple™. Main results are summarized in a global existence theorem for the strong solutions. The SKEF, SDEF, and SKEF-SDEF structures of the cumulative flows are visualized by two-parametric surface plots for six fluid-dynamic variables.

In the current paper, the SKF, SKEF, SDEF, and SKEF-SDEF structures are extended in three dimensions to examine kinematic and dynamic problems for internal conservative waves in the theory of Newtonian flows with harmonic velocity. The structure of this paper is as follows. The SKF structures are used to compute theoretical solutions for the velocity components in Section 2. Theoretical solutions for the kinematic potentials of the velocity field and the dynamic potentials of the Navier-Stokes PDE are obtained in Sections 3 and 4, respectively, through the SKEF structures. The SDEF structures are constructed in Section 5. In Section 6, the SDEF and SKEF-SDEF structures are used for theoretical computation of the kinetic energy and the dynamic pressure. Decomposition of harmonic variables in a SKEF structural basis is tackled in Section 7. Verification of the experimental and theoretical solutions by the Navier-Stokes system of PDEs and the existence theorem are provided in Section 8. Discussion of significant outcomes and visualization of the developed structures are given in Section 9, which is followed by a summary of main results in Section 10.
2. Velocity Components in the SKF Structures
The following theoretical solutions and admissible boundary conditions of Sections 2-8 were primarily computed in Maple™ using experimental programming with lists of equations and expressions for numerical indices and N = 3 in the virtual environment of a global variable Eqe by 33 developed procedures of 1748 code lines.

8. Experimental and Theoretical Verification by the System of Navier-Stokes PDEs
The classical proofs of existence theorems for series solutions of PDEs, see existence theorems of [3] and references therein, include three following steps: 1) to derive formal solutions, 2) to show that PDEs are satisfied, and 3) to find conditions of convergence. For the structural solutions of this paper, the first step is implemented in Sections 2-7, the second step is the point of this section, and the third step is not required since the structural solutions are exact and decompositions in the invariant structures are truncated.
The Navier-Stokes PDEs (1) in the scalar notation become



Theoretical computation of the directional derivatives of (146)-(148) by (120), (94)-(96), and (117)-(118) as a superposition of three products of the SKEF structures, which is reduced to the SDEF structure, yields for the upper and lower cumulative flows, respectively,

Theoretical computation of the SKEF structures for the spatial derivatives of the Bernoulli potential (105)- (106) by (94)-(96) and comparison with the SKEF structures for the temporal derivatives of the velocity components (136)-(139) yields that these structures are related by

Taking theoretically the spatial derivative of the SDEF structure (117) in the x-direction gives for the upper and lower cumulative flows, respectively,

Similarly, the spatial derivative of the SDEF structure (117) with respect to y becomes

where the structural coefficients are

Finally, theoretical computation of the spatial derivative of the SDEF structure (117) in the z-direction returns for the upper and lower cumulative flows, respectively,

where the structural coefficients are

Thus, Equations (157)-(162) and (93)-(96) prove that the SDEF and SKEF structures are invariant with respect to spatial and temporal differentiation.
Application of (157)-(162) to the SDEF structure for the kinetic energy (122)-(123) and comparison with the SDEF structures for the directional derivatives of the velocity components (149)-(154) yields that these structures, similar to the SKEF structures in Section 7, are connected by

Substitution of (135), (155), (156), and (163) in Equations (146)-(148) shows that the Navier-Stokes PDEs are satisfied exactly by the structural solutions in the SKEF, SDEF, and polynomial structures both for the upper and lower cumulative flows. Similarly, computation of the spatial derivatives of the SKEF structures (120) for the velocity components by (94)-(96) and substitution in the continuity PDE (17) also reduces it to identity for the upper and lower cumulative flows.
The main results of this paper are summarized in the following theorem.

and the polynomial structures, there are upper and lower exact solutions for the velocity components









The structural solutions were computed through the theoretical programming with symbolic general terms, symbolic indices, and code-generated names of structural variables for a symbolic number of internal waves N in the virtual environment of the global variable Eqt by 33 developed procedures of 1938 code lines. Primarily, the exact solutions for the upper and lower cumulative flows with were discovered through the experimental programming for N = 3 and then verified by the system of the Navier-Stokes PDEs. Secondly, the cumulative solutions for the velocity components (44), the kinematic potentials (78)-(81), the dynamic potentials (97)-(100), (105)-106), the product of the SKEF structures (117)-(118), the total pressure (126), (106), (123), the temporal derivatives of the velocity components (136)-(139), the directional derivatives of the velocity components (149)-(154), the spatial derivatives of the Bernoulli potential (156), and the spatial derivatives (157)-(162) of the kinetic energy (122)-(123) of the upper and lower cumulative flows were derived through the theoretical programming and justified by the correspondent experimental solutions for N = 1, 3, 10. Finally, the theoretical solutions for the general terms of the spatial (94)-(96), temporal (136)-(139) and directional derivatives (149)-(154) of the velocity components (120)-(121), the spatial derivatives of the Bernoulli potential (105)-(106), and the spatial derivatives (157)-(162) of the kinetic energy (122)-(123) were verified by the system of the Navier- Stokes PDEs.
9. Discussion and Visualization
The structural solutions for conservative interaction of N internal waves in the upper and lower domains model generation, propagation, and interaction of internal waves in the atmosphere and ocean. For fluid-dynamic engineering, existence of these exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes PDEs means existence of an enormous source of the kinetic energy of the internal waves beneath the ocean surface. This source of energy is continuously maintained by perpetual surface waves and it is not affected by viscous dissipation since the velocity field is harmonic.
The exact structural solutions are neutrally stable with respect to any number M of wave perturbations in the class of SKEF structures since the resulting flows are reduced to the upper and lower cumulative flows with N + M internal waves. Since the upper and lower cumulative flows are harmonic, the structural solutions do not depend on the Reynolds number, similar to how all solutions for conservative systems do not depend on dissipation parameters. For the same reason, initial conditions are not required for conservative PDEs, which produce solutions propagating for all times. In conservative solutions, any moment may be treated as an initial moment.
The implemented experimental and theoretical programming methods represent an indispensable Computational Mathematics (COMP MATH) tool, without which discovery and proof of the structural solutions would be impossible since the artificial intelligence of the Maple theoretical computation programs far exceeds the human intelligence. For instance, a calculation of the directional derivative of a single scalar variable u, which produces Equations (149) and (152) for the upper cumulative flow, requires 100 substitutions for 100 structural coefficients with the code-generated names:

The listed names of computational variables in fact are words of a new computational language, which is required to compute theoretically exact formulas for the new COMP MATH data structures: the SKEF and SDEF structures, while this COMP MATH language is developed in the process of computation by the Maple program itself.
The structural solutions in the SKEF structures for the velocity components (120)-(121), the kinematic potentials (78)-(81), and the dynamic potentials (97)-(100), in the SDEF structures for the kinetic energy (122)-(123), in the SKEF-SDEF structures for the dynamic pressure (125), and in the SKEF-SDEF and polynomial structures for the total pressure (126), (106), (123) depend on 14N independent parameters

10. Conclusions
For the Navier-Stokes system of PDEs in three dimensions, the global existence theorem for periodic solutions vanishing at infinity of the upper and lower domains is proved by the

tions. Invariance of the SKEF and SDEF structures with respect to differentiation is shown. The nonlinear algebra of the SKEF structures is developed. The non-orthogonal SKEF structural basis for harmonic functions is constructed and decompositions of the fluid-dynamic variables in this basis are obtained. The conservative system of N internal waves is neutrally stable with respect to M wave perturbations, and it is not affected by viscous dissipation.
The computational method of decomposition in invariant structures continues the analytical methods of separation of variables, undetermined coefficients, and series expansions [3] [5] [10] -[12] . In the current paper, the method of decomposition in invariant structures is extended into three dimensions. By this method, the vorticity and continuity PDEs are reduced to 12 homogeneous ODEs of first order and four linear AEs, the Helmholtz PDEs to 12 inhomogeneous ODEs of first order and 16 linear AEs, the Lamb-Helmholtz PDEs to four inhomogeneous ODEs of first order and eight linear AEs, and the Bernoulli equation is reduced to a linear equation in the SKEF and SDEF structures both for the upper and lower flows. To summarize, the system of four Navier- Stokes PDEs is reduced to the linear system of 57 equations, including 28 ODEs and 29 AEs.
Experimental discovery and theoretical proof of the exact solutions are implemented through experimental programming in Maple™ with lists of equations and expressions for numerical indices and numeric N = 3 by 33 developed procedures of 1748 code lines and theoretical programming with symbolic general terms, symbolic indices, and code-generated names of structural variables for symbolic N by 33 developed procedures of 1938 code lines. The developed procedures allow for theoretical derivations in the environment of novel COMP MATH data structures—the SKEF, SDEF, and SKEF-SDEF structures that are extended in this paper into three dimensions.
