The aim of this course is to realize an introduction in some special chapters of fluid mechanics, with a special accent on the theory of viscous linearized flows. The first part of the course is devoted to the basic results concerning the flows of viscous fluids. It would be presented the linearized method of Stokes, the singularity method and also, the theory of hydrodynamical potential. A special chapter of this course is concerned with certain boundary integral methods for Stokes flows in the presence of solid bodies and walls. The boundary integral methods for Stokes flows due to interfaces are also obtained. |
