We present a new variational formulation of Stokes problem of fluid mechanics that allows to take into account very general boundary conditions for velocity, tangential vorticity or pressure. This formulation conducts a well posed mathematical problem in a family of particular cases. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
