Abstract

In this research project is proposed the study of the mathematical theory of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. At the end of this project the student will have learned about some of the main open problems in the area of fluid dynamics, as well as some of the classical methods from the theory of partial differential equations such as the Galerkin method.
