This Research Note presents several contributions and mathematical
studies in fluid mechanics, namely in non-Newtonian and
viscoelastic fluids and on the Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded
domains. It includes review of the mathematical analysis of
incompressible and compressible flows and results in
magnetohydrodynamic and electrohydrodynamic stability and
thermoconvective flow of Boussinesq-Stefan type. These studies,
along with brief communications on a variety of related topics
comprise the proceedings of a summer course held in Lisbon,
Portugal in 1991. Together they provide a set of comprehensive
survey and advanced introduction to problems in fluid mechanics and
partial differential equations.

This book illustrates applications of mathematics to various
processes (physiological or artificial) involving flowing blood,
including hemorheology, microcirculation, coagulation, kidney
filtration and dialysis, offering a historical overview of each
topic. Mathematical models are used to simulate processes normally
occurring in flowing blood and to predict the effects of
dysfunctions (e.g. bleeding disorders, renal failure), as well as
the effects of therapies with an eye to improving treatments. Most
of the models have a completely new approach that makes
patient-specific simulations possible. The book is mainly intended
for mathematicians interested in medical applications, but it is
also useful for clinicians such as hematologists, nephrologists,
cardio-surgeons, and bioengineers. Some parts require no specific
knowledge of mathematics. The book is a valuable addition to
mathematics, medical, biology, and bioengineering libraries.

The present volume celebrates the 60th birthday of Professor
Giovanni Paolo Galdi and honors his remarkable contributions to
research in the ?eld of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics. The book
contains a collection of 35 peer reviewed papers, with authors from
20 countries, re?ecting the worldwide impact and great inspiration
by his work over the years. These papers were selected from invited
lectures and contributed talks presented at the International
Conference on Mathematical Fluid Mechanics held in Estoril,
Portugal, May 21-25, 2007 and organized on the oc- sion of
Professor Galdi's 60th birthday. We express our gratitude to all
the authors and reviewers for their important contributions.
Professor Galdi devotes his career to research on the mathematical
analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations and non-Newtonian ?ow
problems, with special emphasis on hydrodynamic stability and
?uid-particle interactions, impressing the worldwide mathematical
communities with his results. His numerous contributions have laid
down signi?cant milestones in these ?elds, with a great in?uence on
interdis- plinary research communities. He has advanced the careers
of numerous young researchers through his generosity and
encouragement, some directly through int- lectual guidance and
others indirectly by pairing them with well chosen senior c-
laborators. A brief review of Professor Galdi's activities and some
impressions by colleagues and friends are included here.
This volume contains the Proceedings of the Third International
Conference on Navier-Stokes Equations and Related Nonlinear
Problems. The conference was held in Funchal (Madeira, Portugal),
on May 21-27, 1994. In addition to the editor, the organizers were
Carlos Albuquerque (FC, University of Lisbon), Casimiro Silva
(University of Madeira) and Juha Videman (1ST, Technical University
of Lisbon). This meeting, following two other successful events of
similar type held in Thurnau (Germany) in 1992 and in Cento (Italy)
in 1993, brought together, to the majestically beautiful island of
Madeira, more than 60 specialists from all around the world, of
which about two thirds were invited lecturers. The main interest of
the meeting was focused on the mathematical analysis of nonlinear
phenomena in fluid mechanics. During the conference, we noticed
that this area seems to provide, today more than ever, challenging
and increasingly important problems motivating the research of both
theoretical and numerical analysts. This volume collects 32
articles selected from the invited lectures and contributed papers
given during the conference. The main topics covered include: Flows
in Unbounded Domains; Flows in Bounded Domains; Compressible
Fluids; Free Boundary Problems; Non-Newtonian Fluids; Related
Problems and Numerical Approximations. The contributions present
original results or new surveys on recent developments, giving
directions for future research. I express my gratitude to all the
authors and I am glad to recognize the scientific level and the
actual interest of the articles.

This book presents a series of challenging mathematical problems
which arise in the modeling of Non-Newtonian fluid dynamics. It
focuses in particular on the mathematical and physical modeling of
a variety of contemporary problems, and provides some results. The
flow properties of Non-Newtonian fluids differ in many ways from
those of Newtonian fluids. Many biological fluids (blood, for
instance) exhibit a non-Newtonian behavior, as do many naturally
occurring or technologically relevant fluids such as molten
polymers, oil, mud, lava, salt solutions, paint, and so on. The
term "complex flows" usually refers to those fluids presenting an
"internal structure" (fluid mixtures, solutions, multiphase flows,
and so on). Modern research on complex flows has increased
considerably in recent years due to the many biological and
industrial applications.
This book is meant as a present to honor Professor on the th
occasion of his 70 birthday. It collects refereed contributions
from sixty-one mathematicians from eleven countries. They cover
many different areas of research related to the work of Professor
including Navier-Stokes equations, nonlinear elasticity,
non-Newtonian fluids, regularity of solutions of parabolic and
elliptic problems, operator theory and numerical methods. The
realization of this book could not have been made possible without
the generous support of Centro de Matematica Aplicada (CMA/IST) and
Fundacao Calouste Gulbenkian. Special thanks are due to Dr. Ulrych
for the careful preparation of the final version of this book. Last
but not least, we wish to express our gratitude to Dr. for her
invaluable assistance from the very beginning. This project could
not have been successfully concluded without her enthusiasm and
loving care for her father. On behalf of the editors ADELIA
SEQUEIRA v honored by the Order of Merit of the Czech Republic by
Vaclav Havel, President of the Czech Republic, on the October 28,
1998, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the Charles University
in Prague, Presidential Research Professor at the Northern Illinois
University and Doctor Honoris Causa at the Technical University of
Dresden, has been enriching the Czech and world mathematics with
his new ideas in the areas of partial differential equations,
nonlinear functional analysis and applications of the both
disciplines in continuum mechanics and hydrodynamics for more than
forty years.
