An Introduction to Theoretical Fluid Dynamicsby Stephen Childress - New York University
This course will deal with a mathematical idealization of common fluids. 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 1, 2, or 3 dimensions.

Why the Boundary of a Round Drop Becomes a Curve of Order Fourby A. N. Varchenko, P. I. Etingof - American Mathematical Society
This book concerns the problem of evolution of a round oil spot surrounded by water when oil is extracted from a well inside the spot. It turns out that the boundary of the spot remains an algebraic curve of degree four in the course of evolution.

Introduction to Statistical Theory of Fluid Turbulenceby Mahendra K. Verma - arXiv
Fluid and plasma flows exhibit complex random behaviour, called turbulence. This text is a brief introduction to the statistical theory of fluid turbulence, with emphasis on field-theoretic treatment of renormalized viscosity and energy fluxes.

Statistical Mechanics of Two-dimensional and Geophysical Flowsby Freddy Bouchet, Antoine Venaille - arXiv
The theoretical study of the self-organization of two-dimensional and geophysical turbulent flows is addressed based on statistical mechanics methods. This review is a self-contained presentation of classical and recent works on this subject.
