Title: Mathematical analysis of equations describing the flow of compressible heat conducting fluids Author: Šimon Axmann Department: Mathematical Institute of Charles University Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Milan Pokorný, Ph.D., Mathematical Institute of Charles University Abstract: The present thesis is devoted to the mathematical analysis of equa- tions describing the flow of viscous compressible newtonian fluid in various time regimes. In particular, we present existence results for three problems arising as special cases of a general model derived in the introductory part. The first chap- ter deals with time-periodic solutions to the full Navier-Stokes-Fourier system for heat-conducting fluid. The second chapter contains the proof of existence of steady solutions to a system arising from phase field model for two-phase com- pressible fluid. Finally, in the last section we study steady strong solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations under the additional assumption that the fluid is suffi- ciently dense. For each problem a different concept of the solution is considered, on the other hand in all cases an essential role is played by the crucial quantity effective viscous flux.
