This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical theory of compressible flow, describing both inviscid and viscous compressible flow, which are governed by the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations respectively. The method of presentation allows readers with different backgrounds to focus on various modules of the material, either in part or more fully. Chapters include detailed heuristic arguments providing motivation for technical details that are rigorously presented later on in the text. This especially concerns the existence theory for steady and unsteady Navier-Stokes...

Mathematics has always played a key role for researches in fluid mechanics. The purpose of this handbook is to give an overview of items that are key to handling problems in fluid mechanics. The first part is devoted to mathematical analysis on incompressible fluids while part 2 is devoted to compressible fluids.
