Sommario

Si riformula in termini generali il metodo della funzione di Green per estenderlo al caso di equazioni vettoriali e non lineari. In particolare si ricavano le espressioni della formula di Green e della rappresentazione integrale della soluzione per le equazioni di Navier Stokes non stazionarie. Si ottengono le soluzioni fondamentali in forma chiusa sia per il caso di fluidi comprimibili che incomprimibili. Si discutono infine brevemente i lati positivi ed i possibili limiti della metodologia illustrata.

Summary

The Green's function method is reformulated in general terms to treat vector unsteady and nonlinear equations. The particular expressions of the adjoint linear operator, the Green's formula and the integral representation of the solution are derived for unsteady Navier Stokes equations. The appropriate fundamental solutions for incompressible and for certain compressible flows have been obtained in closed form. Both the positive features and the possible limits of the method are briefly outlined.
