You might be interested in Kip Thorne (of Gravitation fame) and Roger Blandford's book Modern Classical Physics, which is designed to cover the elements of non-quantum physics that are generally ignored in the first year PhD curriculum. Part headers: statistical physics; optics; elasticity; fluid dynamics; plasma physics; general relativity
- radioactivist 3y agoI second the recommendation of this book -- it really is quite excellent and covers at an advanced level most of what is commonly left out of a modern physics curriculum (though it is quite imposing in its size/weight).

- prpl 3y agoAre you sure you learned the correct equation, Navier-Stokes?
