Numerical solutions for some free boundary value problems occuring in planar fluid dynamics (Q686818)

Summary: In Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 13, No. 3, 285-303 (1989; Zbl 0676.35087), the authors have considered the solvability of some free boundary value problems occurring in planar fluid dynamics. The object of the present paper is to present numerical methods for solving free boundary problems. It was shown in (the cited paper) that such free boundary problems may be transformed into a mixed boundary value problem for a linear or nonlinear elliptic complex equation, which in turn, might be reformulated into a conformal mapping or quasiconformal mapping from a general domain onto some canonical domain. In this paper we direct our discussion to the numerical solution of mixed boundary value problems for generalized Beltrami equations.
