Furthermore we give the lower boundary dimension estimation of the attractor of NSE. Liu discussed the condition where the exterior force term is W^'_{0,s} in (1, 2), but his method can't be extended to the condition where the exterior force term is W^'_{s_1,s_2} (s_1 ≠ 0, s_2 ≠ 0). So this paper may look as the extention of [1, 2]. The method which we give in this paper has direct application for further study of other properties of NSE (such as Hopf bifurcation).
