The book develops the most recent ideas and concepts of the mathematical theory of viscous, compressible and heat conducting fluids. Two main goals are pursued: (I) global existence theory within the framework of variational (weak) solutions for the full system of the Navier-Stokes equations supplemented with large data; and (II) optimal existence results for the barotropic flows with respect to the available a priori estimates. The book is intended to be a compact and self-contained presentation of the most recent results of the mathematical theory of viscous compressible fluids. In order to place the text in better perspective, each chapter is concluded with a section devoted to historical notes including references to all-important and new results. The material is by no means intended to be the last word on the subject but rather to include possible directions of future research. It is aimed at research mathematicians, theoretical physicists, engineers and graduate students..

The aim of this book is to bring together classical and recent developments in the particular field of Newtonian flow at low Reynolds numbers. The methods are developed from first principles, alternative formulations are compared, a variety of configurations are addressed, the proper mathematical framework is discussed in the context of functional analysis and integral-equation-theory, and procedures of numerical solution in the context of the boundary element method are introduced. The text contains a fair amount of original material pertaining, in particular, to the properties and explicit form of the Green's functions, and the theory of the integral equations that arise from boundary integral representations..

The Taylor-Couette system is one of the most studied examples of fluid flow exhibiting the spontaneous formation of dynamical structures. In this book the variety of time independent solutions with periodic spatial structure is numerically investigated by solution of the Navier-Stokes equations.

Topics and questions addressed are: Mathematical modeling. Numerical modeling. What kinds of flow patterns do the equations allow in the nonlinear regime? How many solutions exist for given values of the control parameters? Are they stable? How do spatial patterns and the number of solutions vary with the parameters?

For some parameter values many more solutions were found than previously expected (up to 21), in other parameter regimes not even those solutions could be found whose ecistence had been taken for granted. These "experimental" numerical results led to conjectures on the global strcuture of secondary bifurcations in the Taylor system and thus to possible explanations for existence and non-existence of solutions. These conjectures were verified and generalized for the mathematically closely related equations of Rayleigh-Bénard convection, and they were numerically confirmed for the Taylor system..

This well-written book explains the theory of spectral methods and their application to the computation of viscous incompressible fluid flows in clear and elementary terms. It begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of spectral methods and then moves on to cover, in particular, the Fourier and Chebyshev methods. Examples are included. Chapters 6 and 7 handle streamfunction-vorticity and velocity-pressure fomulations of the Navier-Stokes equations. Chapter 8 and 9 address special topics such as self- adaptive coordinate transform, treatment of singularities, and domain decomposition. The work will be useful to those teaching in the field at the graduate level, as well as to researchers working in the area..

This is the first book in English devoted to the latest developments in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics. Written by the leading authors in the field, based at the renowned Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute in Moscow, it deals with viscous gas flow problems that arise from supersonic flows. These complex problems are central to the work of researchers and engineers dealing with new aircraft and turbomachinery development (jet engines, compressors and other turbine equipment). The book presents the latest asymptotical models, simplified Navier-Stokes equations and viscous-inviscid interaction theroies and will be of critical interest to researchers, engineers, academics and advanced graduate students in the areas of fluid mechanics, compressible flows, aerodynamics and aircraft design, applied mathematics and computational fluid dynamics.

Key features

* The first book in English to cover the latest methodology for incopressible flow analysis of high speed aerodynamics, an essential topic for those working on new generation aircraft and turbomachinery
* Authors are internationally recognised as the leading figures in the field
* Includes a chapter introducing asymptotical methods to enable advanced level students to use the book.
