Partial Differential Equations of Fluid Mechanics

UBC MATH 515, Section 201, Spring 2011

This course studies the PDE theoretic aspects of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, which is the basic mathematical model for the motion of viscous incompressible Newtonian fluids. Later topics of the outline may be replaced, according to audience interest, by the theory of inviscous fluids, compressible fluids or non-Newtonian fluids.
