An Introduction to Theoretical Fluid Dynamics
by Stephen Childress
Publisher: New York University 2008
Number of pages: 177
Description:
This course will deal with a mathematical idealization of common fluids such as air or water. 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 RN, where we will consider dimension N to be 1, 2, or 3.

The Secret of Flightby Johan Hoffman, Johan Jansson, Claes Johnson
A theory of subsonic flight based on a combination of analysis and computation. We uncover a mechanism for the generation of substantial lift at the expense of small drag of a wing, which is fundamentally different from the classical theories.
