Introduction to the Potential Theory for the Time-Dependent Stokes System is made up of two parts. The first part deals with a careful presentation of the principles on which the physical problems are based. The fluids under consideration are assumed to be incompressible and the equations so obtained are nonlinear. The linear problems are obtained by introducing characteristic parameters and so determining which terms can be neglected. The authors feel it is important that when a mathematical problem is solved, one knows precisely which problem has actually been solved. The second part deals with the mathematical treatment of the problems derived in the first part. These equations are linear and time dependent. The first step is the construction of a fundamental solution for the equations involved. They are analogous to the fundamental solutions for the potential and heat equations commonly found in the mathematical and engineering literature. The fundamental solution is used as in classical potential theory to construct solutions to initial and certain boundary value problems for the linear Stokes equations.
Features
- Careful presentation of the kinematics of fluid dynamics
- Derivation of the basic equations from first principles
- Rigorous treatment of the linearization of the equations leading to Reynolds and Euler numbers
- Derivation of the fundamental solutions for the Stokes and Oseen equations
- Explicit solutions to the Stokes and Oseen equations for initial value problems
- Potential theory for the Stokes system
- Comparison of compressible and incompressible fluids.

About the Author
Ronald B. Guenther is an emeritus professor in the Department of Math-ematics at Oregon State University. His career began at the Marathon Oil Company where he served as an advanced research mathematician at its Den-ver Research Center. Most of his career was spent at Oregon State University, with visiting professorships at the Universities of Hamburg and Augsburg, and appointments at research laboratories in the United States and Canada, and at the Hahn-Meitner and Weierstrass Institutes in Berlin. His research inter-ests include mathematically modeling deterministic systems and the ordinary and partial differential equations that arise from these models.
Ernest Roetman (1936 - 2023) earned his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Oregon State University in 1963. After a post doc at the University of Aachen, Germany, he took a position at Bell Labs. He began his academic ca-reer at Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey. Subsequently, he moved to the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, with brief visiting positions at the University of Aachen, Germany, Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, and the Marathon Oil Co. Research Center in Denver, Colorado. In 1980 he joined the Boeing Co. in Seattle, Washington as a researcher and manager. He retired from Boeing in 2003. He then taught mathematics and engineering courses at Henry Cogswell College, Everett, Washington until his final retirement in 2006.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Majestic Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
