Le but principal du present ouvrage est de familiariser les etudiants aux concepts actuels de la modelisation asymptotique et a leurs applications aux ecoulements des fluides Newtoniens dans diverses configurations. La lecture ne presente aucune difficulte particuliere. Cependant le deroulement logique et systematique de l'expose met en place tout le formalisme de la modelisation asymptotique (ch. II a VI). Ce livre est l'un des premiers a presenter un panorama assez vaste sur la modelisation asymptotique des ecoulements de fluides Newtoniens: il s'agit aussi bien des techniques asymptotiques...

The present work is not exactly a "course," but rather is presented as a monograph in which the author has set forth what are, for the most part, his own results; this is particularly true of Chaps. 7-13. Many of the problems dealt with herein have, since the school year 1975-76, been the subject of a series of graduate lectures at the "Universire des Sciences et Techniques de Lille I" for students preparing for the "Diplome d'Etudes Ap profondies de Mecanique (option fluides)." The writing of this book was thus strongly influenced by the author's own conception of meteorology as a fluid...

This research monograph deals with a modeling theory of the system of Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations for a Newtonian fluid governing a compressible viscous and heat conducting flows. The main objective is threefold. First , to 'deconstruct' this Navier-Stokes-Fourier system in order to unify the puzzle of the various partial simplified approximate models used in Newtonian Classical Fluid Dynamics and this, first facet, have obviously a challenging approach and a very important pedagogic impact on the university education. The second facet of the main objective is to outline a rational...

This monograph presents a synopsis of fluid dynamics based on the personal scientific experience of the author who has contributed immensely to the field. The interested reader will also benefit from the general historical context in which the material is presented in the book. The book covers a wide range of relevant topics of the field, and the main tool being rational asymptotic modelling (RAM) approach. The target audience primarily comprises experts in the field of fluid dynamics, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.

Using both personal and general historical contexts, this book offers an authoritative account of the rational asymptotic modeling approach. It traces the developments in the field from its early beginnings to the present day.
