Mathematical Topics in Fluid Mechanics

This Research Note presents several contributions and mathematical studies in fluid mechanics namely in non-Newtonian and viscoelastic fluids and on the Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains. It includes review of the mathematical analysis of incompressible and compressible flows and results in magnetohydrodynamic and electrohydrodynamic stability and thermoconvective flow of Boussinesq-Stefan type. These studies along with brief communications on a variety of related topics comprise the proceedings of a summer course held in Lisbon Portugal in 1991. Together they provide a set of comprehensive survey and advanced introduction to problems in fluid mechanics and partial differential equations.
