  • Incompressible Bipolar and Non-Newtonian Viscous Fluid Flow

    by Hamid Bellout, Frederick Bloom ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    The theory of incompressible multipolar viscous fluids is a non-Newtonian model of fluid flow, which incorporates nonlinear viscosity, as well as higher order velocity gradients, and is based on scientific first principles. The Navier-Stokes model of fluid flow is based on the Stokes hypothesis, which a priori simplifies and restricts the relationship between the stress tensor and the velocity. By ... Read more

  • Mathematics of Two-Dimensional Turbulence

    by Sergei Kuksin, Armen Shirikyan ...
    Series Book 194 - Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics
    This book is dedicated to the mathematical study of two-dimensional statistical hydrodynamics and turbulence, described by the 2D Navier–Stokes system with a random force. The authors' main goal is to justify the statistical properties of a fluid's velocity field u(t,x) that physicists assume in their work. They rigorously prove that u(t,x) converges, as time grows, to a statistical equilibrium, ... Read more

  • Reversibility in Dynamics and Group Theory

    by Anthony G. O'Farrell, Ian Short ...
    Series Book 416 - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series
    Reversibility is a thread woven through many branches of mathematics. It arises in dynamics, in systems that admit a time-reversal symmetry, and in group theory where the reversible group elements are those that are conjugate to their inverses. However, the lack of a lingua franca for discussing reversibility means that researchers who encounter the concept may be unaware of related work in other ... Read more
