Synopsis

Understanding how math helps model real water systems

The book tackles how to build global weak solutions for the nonlinear waterhammer problem, under realistic initial and boundary conditions. It explains how pressure waves form and reflect at boundaries, and how friction and subsonic limits shape the solution.

Two concise paragraphs explain the approach and its value. The work blends theoretical analysis with a practical method, showing how a fractional-step procedure can handle both frictionless flow and friction effects. It also discusses how to ensure the solution respects physical bounds and boundary data, making the math useful for engineers and scientists.
  • Learn what a weak solution means in this context and how it differs from smoother solutions.
  • See how a fractional-step method combines a frictionless step with a friction step to build the solution.
  • Understand how boundary conditions and subsonic constraints influence existence and regularity.
  • Get a high-level view of how monotonicity conditions help keep the solution stable over time.
Ideal for readers of applied mathematics, computational fluid dynamics, and PDE-based modeling who want a rigorous yet accessible view of the waterhammer problem and its global solutions.
