Lectures on Fluid Dynamics: A Particle Theorist's View of Supersymmetric, Non-Abelian, Noncommutative Fluid Mechanics and d-Branes (CRM Series in Mathematical Physics) Book
In these lectures, most of them given at the University of Montreal while he held the Aisenstadt Chair, Roman Jackiw provides a view of fluid dynamics from an entirely novel perspective. He begins by explaining the motivation and reviewing the classical theory, but in a manner different from textbook discussions. Among other topics, he discusses conservation laws and Euler equations, and a method for finding their canonical structure; C. Eckart's Lagrangian and a relativistic generalization for vortex-free motion; nonvanishing vorticity and the Clebsch parameterization for the velocity vector. Jackiw then discusses some specific models for nonrelativistic and relativistic fluid mechanics with more than one spatial dimension, including the Chaplygin gas (whose negative pressure is … read more...
