Operator Approach to Linear Problems of Hydrodynamics

the long version

This is the second volume of a set of two devoted to the operator approach to linear problems in hydrodynamics (Volume 1: 3-7643-5406-2). It presents functional analytical methods applied to the study of small movements and normal oscillations of hydromechanical systems having cavities filled with either ideal or viscous fluids. The work relies on the authors' and their students' works of the last 30-40 years. The readers are not supposed to be familiar with the methods of functional analysis. The second part of the present volume collects nonself-adjoint problems on small motions and normal oscillations of a viscous fluid filling a bounded region. The book is particularly useful for researchers, engineers and students in fluid mechanics and mathematics interested in operator theoretical methods for the analysis of hydrodynamical problems.
