    The value of analytical solutions relies on the rigorous formulation, and a strong mathematical background. This comprehensive volume unifies the most important geometries, which allow for the development of analytical solutions for hydrodynamic boundary value problems. It offers detailed explanations of the Laplance domain and numerical results associated with such problems, providing deep insight into the theory of hydrodynamics. Extended numerical calculations are provided and discussed, allowing the reader to use them as benchmarks for their own computations and making this an invaluable resource for specialists in in various disciplines, including hydrodynamics, acoustics, optics, electrostatics, and brain imaging.

    • Provides and discusses extended numerical calculations, allowing the reader to use them as benchmarks for their own computations
    • Covers analytical solutions as well as practical applications of the geometries examined
    • Properties of special functions are proved and described, making this an ideal handbook for special functions
