This volume collects the articles presented at the Third International Conference on ?The Navier-Stokes Equations: Theory and Numerical Methods?, held in Oberwolfach, Germany. The articles are important contributions to a wide variety of topics in the Navier-Stokes theory: general boundary conditions, flow exterior to an obstacle, conical boundary points, the controllability of solutions, compressible flow, non-Newtonian flow, magneto-hydrodynamics, thermal convection, the interaction of fluids with elastic solids, the regularity of solutions, and Rothe's method of approximation.
