内容简介
Vorticity is perhaps the most important facet of turbulent fluid flows. This book is intended to be a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical theory of vorticity and incompressible flow ranging from elementary introductory material to current research topics. Although the contents center on mathematical theory, many parts of the book showcase a modem applied mathematics interaction among rigorous mathematical theory, numerical, asymptotic, and qualitative simplified modeling, and physical phenomena. The interested reader can see many examples of this symbiotic interaction throughout the hook, especially in Chaps. 4-9 and 13. The authors hope that this point of view will be interesting to mathematicians as well as other scientists and engineers with interest in the mathematical theory of incompressible flows.
