Theory and Applications of Viscous Fluid Flows

The purpose of Theory and Applications of Viscous Fluid Flows is to close the gap between standard undergraduate texts on fluid mechanics and monographical publications devoted to specific aspects of viscous fluid flows. After a general introduction, each chapter serves as an introduction to a special topic that will facilitate later application by readers in their research work. The book will benefit beginning graduate students and young researchers interested in a rational and systematic account of various theoretical and mathematical aspects of viscous fluid flow phenomena, as well as their modelling in relation to practical viscous and heat conducting problems. This volume complements, but is independent of, Zeytounian’s Theory and Applications of Nonviscous Fluid Flows.
