The book presents recent results and new trends in the theory of fluid
mechanics. Each of the four chapters focuses on a different problem in
fluid flow accompanied by an overview of available older results.
The chapters are extended lecture notes from the ESSAM school
"Mathematical Aspects of Fluid Flows" held in Kácov (Czech Republic) in
May/June 2017.
The lectures were presented by Dominic Breit (Heriot-Watt University
Edinburgh), Yann Brenier (École Polytechnique, Palaiseau),
Pierre-Emmanuel Jabin (University of Maryland) and Christian Rohde
(Universität Stuttgart), and cover various aspects of mathematical fluid
mechanics - from Euler equations, compressible Navier-Stokes equations
and stochastic equations in fluid mechanics to equations describing
two-phase flow; from the modeling and mathematical analysis of equations
to numerical methods. Although the chapters feature relatively recent
results, they are presented in a form accessible to PhD students in the
field of mathematical fluid mechanics.
