This book provides a successful solution to one of the central problems of mathematical fluid mechanics: the Leray’s problem on existence of a solution to the boundary value problem for the stationary Navier—Stokes system in bounded domains under sole condition of zero total flux. This marks the culmination of the authors' work over the past few years on this under-explored topic within the study of the Navier—Stokes equations. This book will be the first major work on the Navier—Stokes equations to explore Leray’s problem in detail. The results are presented with detailed...

This book presents the analysis of viscous flows in thin tube structures, and develops a multi-scale method for modeling blood flow. For the reader’s convenience, the authors introduce all necessary notions and theorems from functional analysis and the classical theory of the Navier-Stokes equations. The problems of all asymptotic methods used in the book are explained as well, such as the dimension reduction and the boundary layer method. Through several numerical experiments, readers will discover that the proposed methods are more flexible than the theoretically predicted...
