Mathematics of Open Fluid Systems

“This book deals with issues related to the delicate problem of open fluid systems, where by open system we mean a system in which an exchange of matter and/or energy can take place with the surrounding environment. The topic is extremely current and relevant … . it is unique in its kind and can represent the starting point for studies and reflections in the field of open systems.” (Francesca Brini, Mathematical Reviews, August, 2023)“This book may be useful to scientists working in the field of hydrodynamics, and the authors were successful in putting their brick into the building of fluid mechanics.” (Aleksey Syromyasov, zbMATH 1504.76003, 2023)
