it
has been made in
[146, 173, 1941.
As
a step to follow,
it
would be
sound
przctice to
prove
the global theorem of existence
in
the problem of flowing
through with the set velocity vector at the entrance.
In
favour of
this opinion the following considerations can be given. The most
general theorem of uniqueness, which has been proved in
11461
for
two-dimensional flows of
a
homogenous liquid, holds when the velo-
city vector
is
bounded. In the case of
a
plane-parallel motion,the
equation for the velocity vortex proves to be much simpler than
in
the three-dimensional case

Here
w
is
a non-zero component of the vortex, in the Cartesian co-
ordinates

the rotor of the vector of mass forces. Therefore,
if
the function
w
is
bounded
at
t
=
0
and
at the entrance
r1
then there
is
an
estimate with respect to the modulus for
w(x,
t)
in
the domain
y
=
Q
x
(0,
T).Thua,
the basic difficulty lies
in
estimating the
vortex at the entrance
I”
where
w
is
not known beforehand.
In
terms of the scheme presented
in
S2.3,
the boundary values
of
w
on
I?’
are expressed through the tangential derivative of the
pressurep. Not strictly speaking, the problem has a
small
parame-
ter, since for pressure
p
we need only the local estimates
in
the
vicinity of
r‘.
2.
No
global theorems have been established for a single case of a
non-homogenous liquid. Therefore,
it
would be interesting to prove
the theorem of existence in the whole for the Euler equations for
a
non-homogenous liquid
in
the plane-parallel flow with the boun-
dary conditions of non-flowing throughout the boundary
r
.

The next set of questions
is
associated with studying statio-
nary flows of an ideal fluid. Even the two-dimensional problem of
flowing through
in
a
physical formulation has not yet been studied.
In
works
2,
3, 41
theorems have been proved only for the model
problems when
at
the entrance
I”
either the normal component and
the vortex, or the velocity vector are given, but then at the
part
of
out-flowing given
is
the tangential component
of
the velo-
city, which
is
non-zero by
all
means. In all probability, the pro-
cedure under discussion can prove useful when considering station-
ary problems as well. Special attention should be paid to three-
-dimensional stationary problems,
for
which no theorems on their
solvability are available at present.
4. In a technical sense, of interest
is
studying the problem of
flowing through in other functional spaces, i.e. in the Sobolpv’s
spaces. These spaces are more natural as compared with the Hol-
der’s ones, since in this case one can more effectively use the
estimates of the types of energy integrals. The problem of flowing
through
with
the given vortex
at
the entrance haa been studied for
solvability in the Sobolev’s space in [47].
5.
As
has been pointed out in
D
6,
quite difficult problems arise
when considering the liquid flows with the
parts
of
in-
and out-
-flowing touching the solid
wall.
Therefore, we can pose as
is
the non-zero component of
