Resources for learning more about Navier-Stokes Equations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on resources for learning the Navier-Stokes Equations and Laplace's Tidal Equations, highlighting the need for foundational knowledge in fluid mechanics. Key resources mentioned include the MIT OpenCourseWare on wave motion, the textbook "Fluid Mechanics" by Pijush Kundu, Lighthill's "Waves in Fluids," and "Wave Motion" by Billingham and King. While these texts provide valuable insights into fluid dynamics and wave phenomena, they do not explicitly cover Laplace's Tidal Equations. Users are encouraged to explore these materials for a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with differential equations
  • Basic knowledge of wave motion
  • Experience with mathematical modeling in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the MIT OpenCourseWare for "Wave Motion in the Ocean and the Atmosphere"
  • Read "Fluid Mechanics" by Pijush Kundu for foundational concepts
  • Investigate Lighthill's "Waves in Fluids" for wave-related theories
  • Study "Wave Motion" by Billingham and King for additional insights into tidal phenomena
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics, particularly those focusing on fluid dynamics and oceanography.

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.
