New Trends in Fluid and Solid Models

Book excerpt: The Proceedings of the 1st Conference on New Trends in Fluid and Solid Models provide an overview of results and new models in fluid dynamics and, in general, in continuum mechanics. The contributions refer in particular to models in continuum mechanics, phase transitions, qualitative analysis for ODEs or PDEs models, Stability in fluids and solids, wave propagation, discontinuity and shock waves, and numerical simulations. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Well-Posedness for a Ginzburg-Landau Model in Superfiuidity (1,480 KB).
