Navier-Stokes equations. An introduction with applications (Q896048)

This is a monograph devoted to a theory of Navier-Stokes system with a clear stress on applications to specific modifications and extensions of the Navier-Stokes equations (and relevant boundary conditions) for viscous incompressible fluid flows such as those in the theory of lubrication: with friction, in narrow films, in contact problems. Motivations for considering asymptotic behavior in time of solutions to those problems stem from the authors' research interests. The presentation is as simple as possible, exercises, examples, comments and bibliographical notes are valuable complements of the theory. The content is split into chapters: Equations of Classical Hydrodynamics, Mathematical Preliminaries, Stationary Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equations, Stationary Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equations with Friction, Stationary Flows in Narrow Films and the Reynolds Equation, Autonomous Two-Dimensional Navier-Stokes Equations, Invariant Measures and Statistical Solutions, Global Attractors and a Lubrication Problem, Exponential Attractors in Contact Problems, Non-autonomous Navier-Stokes Equations and Pullback Attractors, Pullback Attractors and Statistical Solutions, Pullback Attractors and Shear Flows, Trajectory Attractors and Feedback Boundary Control in Contact Problems, Evolutionary Systems and the Navier-Stokes Equations, Attractors for Multivalued Processes in Contact Problems. This book can be viewed as a complement of the hydrodynamical part of the classical monograph by \textit{R. Temam} [Infinite-dimensional dynamical systems in mechanics and physics. 2nd ed. New York, NY: Springer (1997; Zbl 0871.35001)], with a new type of applications. Thus, ``The book will be certainly useful for researchers as well as students and post-graduate students in mathematics, physics and engineering'' as was written in [loc. cit.].
