Foundations of fluid dynamics

From MaRDI portal





In the first chapter of this highly mathematical book, the author describes continua and their general equations. The second chapter is devoted to empirical algorithms for Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, whereas chapter 3 discusses spectral method and local existence, regularity and uniqueness theorems for Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The final chapters are devoted to mathematical problems of turbulence and chaos. In particular, chapter 5 gives a quantitative description of chaotic motions before developed turbulence, chapter 6 discusses developed turbulence, and chapter 7 examines statistical properties of turbulence. Since the book contains only mathematical analysis of general properties of fluid mechanics, without any applications of these theories to concrete practical problems, the book will be mainly interesting to those who study mathematical properties of equations for inviscid and viscous fluid flows.
