Instability in Models Connected with Fluid Flows I

Instability in Models Connected with Fluid Flows I presents chapters from world renowned specialists. The stability of mathematical models simulating physical processes is discussed in topics on control theory, first order linear and nonlinear equations, water waves, free boundary problems, large time asymptotics of solutions, stochastic equations, Euler equations, Navier-Stokes equations, and other PDEs of fluid mechanics.

Fields covered include: controllability and accessibility properties of the Navier- Stokes and Euler systems, nonlinear dynamics of particle-like wavepackets, attractors of nonautonomous Navier-Stokes systems, large amplitude monophase nonlinear geometric optics, existence results for 3D Navier-Stokes equations and smoothness results for 2D Boussinesq equations, instability of incompressible Euler equations, increased stability in the Cauchy problem for elliptic equations.

Résumé

In this authoritative and comprehensive volume, Claude Bardos and Andrei Fursikov have drawn together an impressive array of international contributors to present important recent results and perspectives in this area. The main subjects that appear here relate largely to mathematical aspects of the theory but some novel schemes used in applied mathematics are also presented. Various topics from control theory, including Navier-Stokes equations, are covered.
