The book presents the modern state of the art in the mathematical theory of compressible Navier-Stokes equations, with particular emphasis on the applications to aerodynamics. The topics covered include:modeling of compressible viscous flows; modern mathematical theory of nonhomogeneous boundary value problems for viscous gas dynamics equations;applications to optimal shape design in aerodynamics;kinetic theory for equations with oscillating data;new approach to the boundary value problems for transport equations. The monograph offers a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to recent mathematical tools designed to handle the problems arising in the theory.

The topological derivative is defined as the first term (correction) of the asymptotic expansion of a given shape functional with respect to a small parameter that measures the size of singular domain perturbations, such as holes, inclusions, defects, source-terms and cracks.

New trends in free boundary problems and new mathematical tools together with broadening areas of applications have led to attempts at presenting the state of art of the field in a unified way.

The shape optimization problem for such a structure consists in finding a geometry of the structure which minimizes a given functional (e. The boundary is smooth or piecewise smooth, so boundary value problems that are defined in the domain and associated with the classical partial differential equations of mathematical physics are well posed.
