Video, I do not know, but how to work with hydraulic transients know any
good bibliography.
.
For beginners: Partial differential equations Paul Duchateau and David W.
Zachmann.
.
For a second level: Applied partial differential equations Paul Duchateau
and David W. Zachmann.
.
Not advise: Partial differential equations for scientists and engineers.

Hi Mara, in my humble opinion there are some of the best lectures in
PDEs:
1) PDEs and introduction, by Walter Strauss (quite good !!!)
2) Partial Differential Equations. Modeling, Analysis, Computation. by R.

What is the best source for learning PDE (partial differential equations)?
SIAM. is another interesting choise.
3) There are a tree volume edition of Partial Differential Equations I by
Sign Up
Michael E. Taylor, which isResearchGate
a reference work.is
4) Partial Differential Equations in Action From Modelling t o Theory by
Sandro Salsa,in another good one.
5) Partial Differential Equations Analytical and Numerical Methods
Mark S. Gockenbach. Edited
siam
thebyprofessional
6) One of my favourites is Equations of the Physical Mathematics, by
Godunov, and other classic is the work of Tijonov and Samarki with a
similar title.
I hope that be helpfull.

You have two ways to proceed as your needs. As I saw you were a
student of the department of irrigation engineering nd hydraulics,
today, it's
assumed it was focused onJoin
the Hydraulic
, if this is the case I reaffirm my
indication because the cited text would be more appropriate, but if you are
a student of other areas suggest look the other proposals, especially the
classic text Godounov, as indicated by Legnani.

Hi Mahmoud,
I am not shure how deep you are in yet. A very understanable, yet
comprehensive resource is http://mathforcollege.com/nm/
But PDEs are not treated in-depth.

I think one of the effective way to learn is through applications you make
yourself some simple codes once you know the theory.
Below are some links (spreadsheet and ppt) among others available on
the website that can help you do learn. Start with simple until you master
it.
