Topics in Mathematical Fluid Mechanics

Download or read book Topics in Mathematical Fluid Mechanics written by Peter Constantin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together five contributions to mathematical fluid mechanics, a classical but still very active research field which overlaps with physics and engineering. The contributions cover not only the classical Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible Newtonian fluid, but also generalized Newtonian fluids, fluids interacting with particles and with solids, and stochastic models. The questions addressed in the lectures range from the basic problems of existence of weak and more regular solutions, the local regularity theory and analysis of potential singularities, qualitative and quantitative results about the behavior in special cases, asymptotic behavior, statistical properties and ergodicity.
