Apr 17, 2018 at 1:45 comment added NauticalMile P. G. Drazin has written a small book on exact solutions to the Navier-Stokes. Being published more recently its list is even more comprehensive than Wang's.
Jun 4, 2014 at 3:58 comment added The Polywell Guy This helped me some, with my question: spinning fluid inside a sphere. I would just add that you can approximate many things from these canned solutions. I have done: - fluid pushed through a cone - fluid between two spheres coming together - fluid between a slowly varying surface.

Apr 10, 2013 at 8:31 comment added Christoph B. C. Y. Wangs' 1991 « Exact Solutions of the Steady-State Navier-Stokes Equation » paper published in Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, gives an overview of exact solutions in the steady case as its name suggests: annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev.fl.23.010191.001111 It doesn't go into great depths (and is over 20 years old, but White's book was first published in 1974 and then updated in the nineties), but it gives extensive references to other works. I guess one could extract a few additional examples to complete the above list, such as Burgers' vortex and Beltrami flows.
Apr 9, 2013 at 16:39 comment added user44430 Ah wonderful! I was wondering if such a compilation existed as well. Most fluids texts have some subset of the analytic solutions but they are usually scattered through some giant tome of a book. Thank you!
