The Navier-Stokes equations are a set of nonlinear partial differential equations comprising the fundamental dynamical description of fluid motion. They are applied routinely to problems in engineering, geophysics, astrophysics, and atmospheric science. This book is an introductory physical and mathematical presentation of the Navier-Stokes equations, focusing on unresolved questions of the regularity of solutions in three spatial dimensions, and the relation of these issues to the physical phenomenon of turbulent fluid motion. Intended for graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics and theoretical physics, results and techniques from nonlinear functional analysis are introduced as needed with an eye toward communicating the essential ideas behind the rigorous analyses.

A rigorous but accessible introduction to the mathematical theory of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, this book provides self-contained proofs of someof the most significant results in the area, many of which can only be found in researchpapers. Highlights include the existence of global-in-time Leray-Hopf weak solutionsand the local existence of strong solutions; the conditional local regularity results ofSerrin and others; and the partial regularity results of Caffarelli, Kohn, and Nirenberg.Appendices provide background material and proofs of some 'standard results' thatare hard to find in the literature. A substantial number of exercises are included, with fullsolutions given at the end of the book. As the only introductory text on the topic to treatall of the mainstream results in detail, this book is an ideal text for a graduate course ofone or two semesters. It is also a useful resource for anyone working in mathematicalfluid dynamics.
