Abstract

In this class, we will explore the mathematical theory of fluid dynamics. We will cover classical and modern techniques related to nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), including the Euler equations (nonlinear hyperbolic PDEs) and the Navier-Stokes equations (nonlinear parabolic PDEs).

Objective

Our goal is twofold: 1) deepening our understanding of fluid dynamics using mathematical tools. 2) exploring the practical applications of functional and harmonic analysis tools in the context of partial differential equations.
