Some Open Questions in Hydrodynamics
by Mateusz Dyndal, Laurent Schoeffel
Publisher: arXiv 2014
Number of pages: 24
Description:
There are many deep open questions that come with the theory of fluid mechanics. In this paper, 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 (boundary) conditions.

Complex Fluids: The Physics of Emulsionsby M. E. Cates - arXiv
These lectures start with the mean field theory for a symmetric binary fluid mixture, addressing interfacial tension, the stress tensor, and the equations of motion (Model H). We then consider the phase separation kinetics of such a mixture.

Exploring the Biofluiddynamics of Swimming and Flightby David Lentink - Wageningen University
Many organisms move through water or air in order to survive and reproduce. It is useful to analyze fluid motion as a collection of vortices: vortices interact with the moving organism, interact with each other, and evolve independently in time.

The Secret of Flightby Johan Hoffman, Johan Jansson, Claes Johnson
A theory of subsonic flight based on a combination of analysis and computation. We uncover a mechanism for the generation of substantial lift at the expense of small drag of a wing, which is fundamentally different from the classical theories.
