Textbook suggestions for rigorous fluid dynamics - MathOverflow

Constantin, Foias, Navier-Stokes Equations (1988). This classic is not a textbook exactly, but gives a lot of detail and should be pretty readable.

A few possibilities: JC Robinson, JL Rodrigo, & W Sadowski (2016) Classical theory of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. OA Ladyzhenskaya (1963) The mathematical theory of viscous incompressible flow.

I am interested in studying fluid dynamics and am searching for a good introductory textbook. I know just the very basics of fluids on the physics side. For mathematical prerequisites, I have completed a course on integration theory, and have a basic understanding of functional analysis and PDE, though by no means am I an expert. I have done some searching online and most of the books I have come…

You can get the free ~900 pages book Genick Bar-Meir, Basics of Fluid Mechanics , https://zenodo.org/records/8184518 or this one on compressible flow: Genick Bar-Meir, Fundamentals of Compressible Fluid Mechanics , https://zenodo.org/records/6467559 Good luck
