Complete Analytical Exact Solutions of Navier-Stokes Eqs: Fluid Mechanics Book

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for comprehensive resources containing all known complete analytical exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. Participants agree that such a compilation does not currently exist, with most information being scattered across various papers, such as those published in the journal Acta Mechanica. The consensus is that while exact solutions are rare and often applicable only under simple conditions, practitioners in fluid mechanics typically seek methods for accurate approximations rather than exact solutions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Navier-Stokes equations in fluid mechanics
  • Familiarity with magnetohydrodynamic flow concepts
  • Knowledge of academic publishing in fluid dynamics
  • Ability to analyze journal articles and research papers
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the journal Acta Mechanica for relevant papers on Navier-Stokes solutions
  • Explore methods for approximating solutions to fluid mechanics problems
  • Study magnetohydrodynamics and its applications in fluid dynamics
  • Investigate the conditions under which exact solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations can be derived
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, graduate students, and professionals in fluid mechanics, particularly those interested in the theoretical aspects of the Navier-Stokes equations and their applications in real-world scenarios.

Is there a book, series of notes, lectures, PDF, PPT or anything that contains all known complete analytical exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations?

Not to my knowledge. As far as I know, information regarding exact solutions to the N-S equations is mostly just published in several papers.
 
Well then, I wonder if I should make it my mission to search deep into every fluids text and journal paper and compile one myself.

maybe this is what you are looking for

You could. But from what I understand, the conditions in which an exact solution can be found are not really applicable to anything useful. So in a nutshell, when people are looking for solutions to real life fluid mechanics problems they don't go looking for an exact solution but a method to give them an accurate approximation.

Don't waste your time.
 
To my knowledge, there are very few exact solutions to the NS equations. The conditions that could be solved are very simple.

Here's an intro to a journal paper:
