An Introduction to Theoretical Fluid Dynamics
by Stephen Childress
Publisher: New York University 2008
Number of pages: 177
Description:
This course will deal with a mathematical idealization of common fluids such as air or water. The main idealization is embodied in the notion of a continuum and our 'fluids' will generally be identified with a certain connected set of points in RN, where we will consider dimension N to be 1, 2, or 3.

The Secret of Sailingby Johan Hoffman, Johan Jansson, Claes Johnson
This book presents 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 for lift in inviscid flow and for drag in viscous flow.

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.
