Recent Developments in Theoretical Fluid Mechanics

This book deals with some basic questions related to existence and stability of one-dimensional flow of a compressible fluid. It examines the two-dimensional exterior problem for the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations.

Including previously unpublished, original research material, this comprehensive book analyses topics of fundamental importance in theoretical fluid mechanics. The five papers appearing in this volume are centred around the mathematical theory of the Navier-Stokes equations (incompressible and compressible) and certain selected non-Newtonian modifications.
