Resources for learning more about Navier-Stokes Equations

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding resources to learn about the Navier-Stokes Equations and Laplace's Tidal Equations, emphasizing the need for materials that cover fundamentals and real-world applications. Participants recommend various textbooks, including a Fluid Mechanics book by Pijush Kundu, which, while comprehensive, lacks specific references to Laplace's Tidal Equations. Other suggested resources include Lighthill's "Waves in Fluids" and "Wave Motion" by Billingham and King, both rich in wave-related content but not directly addressing the desired equations. An MIT OpenCourseWare link is shared, although some errors in the material are noted. The conversation highlights the challenge of finding targeted educational resources for these complex topics.

Summary: I'm looking to learn more about the Navier Stokes Equations and Laplace's Tidal Equations. Do you know of any books/resources/ problems I can go over to learn how they work.

I've studied physics and math in school and I'm looking to learn more about fluid mechanics and Laplace's Tidal equations. Ideally, I'm looking for any resources that go over the fundamentals of how they work and how to apply them to real-world examples. This can be books, websites, journals, papers, professors, or anyone that has produced content that gives an introduction and thorough example of how they work.

Thanks

Here's a college textbook on Fluid Mechanics but from the index there is no explicit mention of Laplace Tidal Equations only Laplace Equations.

That's actually a very good book, one of the authors (Pijush Kundu) of which was concerned with oceanoghraphics. So it does contain some references to tidal waves and shallow waves and it is a good introduction to fluid mechanics all together. But it does not contain Laplace's tidal equations.

you also have Lighthill's 'Waves in Fluids', which contains a lot of information about waves, but AFAIK again not the one you are looking for.

Lastly there is also the book "Wave Motion" from Billingham and King, which again contains lots of stuff about waves, also shallow water and tidal waves. But, again AFAIK no explicit mention of Laplace's tidal equations.
