The Secret of Sailing
by Johan Hoffman, Johan Jansson, Claes Johnson
2009
Number of pages: 175
Description:
In this book we present a mathematical theory of sailing based on a combination of analysis and computation. This new theory is fundamentally different from that envisioned in the classical theories by Kutta-Zhukovsky for lift in inviscid flow and by Prandtl for drag in viscous flow.

Lagrangian Solid Modelingby Matthew Marko - viXra
The author demonstrates a stable Lagrangian solid modeling method, tracking the interactions of solid mass particles, rather than using a meshed grid. This method avoids the problem of tensile instability seen with Smooth Particle Applied Mechanics.

Some Open Questions in Hydrodynamicsby Mateusz Dyndal, Laurent Schoeffel - arXiv
There are many deep open questions that come with the theory of fluid mechanics. We discuss some of them that we classify in two categories, the long term behavior of solutions of equations of hydrodynamics and the definition of initial conditions.
