Tartar Luc. An Introduction to Navier Stokes Equation and Oceanography

Springer, 2006. — 255 p.In the spring of 1999, I taught (at Carnegie Mellon University) a graduate course entitled Partial Differential Equations Models in Oceanography, and I wrote lecture notes which I distributed to the students; these notes were then made available on the Internet, and they were distributed to the participants of a Summer School held in Lisbon, Portugal, in July 1999. After a few years, I feel it will be useful to make the text available to a larger audience by publishing a revised version.
To an uninformed observer, it may seem that there is more interest in the Navier–Stokes equation nowadays, but many who claim to be interested show such a lack of knowledge about continuum mechanics that one may wonder about such a superficial attraction.Basic physical laws and units.
