"Although there are many texts and monographs on fluid dynamics, Ido not know of any which is as comprehensive as the present book.It surveys nearly the entire field of classical fluid dynamics inan advanced, compact, and clear manner, and discusses the variousconceptual and analytical models of fluid flow." - Foundations ofPhysics on the first edition
Theoretical Fluid Dynamics functions equally well as agraduate-level text and a professional reference. Steering a middlecourse between the empiricism of engineering and the abstractionsof pure mathematics, the author focuses on those ideas andformulations that will be of greatest interest to students andresearchers in applied mathematics and theoretical physics. Dr.Shivamoggi covers the main branches of fluid dynamics, withparticular emphasis on flows of incompressible fluids. Readers wellversed in the physical and mathematical prerequisites will findenlightening discussions of many lesser-known areas of study influid dynamics.
This thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded Second Editionfeatures coverage of recent developments in stability andturbulence, additional chapter-end exercises, relevant experimentalinformation, and an abundance of new material on a wide range oftopics, including:
* Hamiltonian formulation
* Nonlinear water waves and sound waves
* Stability of a fluid layer heated from below
* Equilibrium statistical mechanics of turbulence
* Two-dimensional turbulence
