Fluid Mechanics

Research activities in Fluid Mechanics cover a wide range of aspects in the mathematical theory of the Euler and Navier–Stokes equations describing the flow of incompressible and compressible fluids and more recent models in Non-Newtonian Mechanics including generalized Newtonian fluids, visco-elastic and visco-plastic fluids.

Among those aspects are: well-posedness of the corresponding boundary-value and initial boundary-value problems, qualitative properties of solutions, developments of fine analytic methods (like unique continuation, Liouville’s theorems, maximum principles, Harnack’s inequalities, weak convergence methods, characteristic methods & entropy methods etc.) for resolving challenging problems inspired by the fundamental mathematical questions in Fluid Mechanics.
