We deal with viscoplastic flows. The fluid motion is governed by the nonlinear incompressible Norton-Hoff operator with homogeneous boundary conditions. We provide the well-posedness of the model in the static case. The idea is based on the crucial properties of the so-called compliance functional coupled with the min-max theory relayed to a variational analysis of the associated Lagrangian.
