David Tong Lectures on Fluid Mechanics by David Tong
These lecture notes provide a introduction to fluid mechanics, aimed
at undergraduates. The contents in this page are as follows : Introduction and
Inviscid Flows, The Navier-Stokes Equation, Waves, Instabilities, Turbulence.
This
note covers Derivation of mathematical models, Simplified models, Euler
equations, Vorticity, A dip on analysis and Biot Savarts law, Local in time well
posedness, Two dimensional case and one dimensional isentropic compressible
Euler equations.
The course
provides a survey of continuum fluid mechanics. Part I gives an extensive
development of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Part II focuses on
their solution in various limits: vorticity dynamics, compressible flow,
potential flow, and viscous laminar flow. The emphasis is on fluid physics and
the mathematics necessary to efficiently describe the physics.
