DESCRIPTION:
. From reviews of the first edition: 'reminds one of Prandtl's classic, 'Fuhrer durch die Stromungslehre' well suited as a text for introductory courses addressed to engineering students.' Journal of Fluid Mechanics'It should be quite straightforward to use Physical Fluid Dynamics as a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate coursesIt is one of those rare books that offers a qualitative advance over what was available previously.' American Journal of Physics on the first edition

"A must have" according to RegularCustomer. You must have this book in your bookshelf if you are a fluid-dynamicist. As the title suggests, it is about the physics of fluid dynamics.. karups said Not ideal for mathematicians. This book is not ideal for mathematicians. It is written in the style of a physics book, with a large portion of the book devoted to experimental results; the theory is developed in the context of explaining these results, with little mathematical discussion of the resulting equations beyond asymptotic analysis. (This may be expect. Max AA said Excellent book for physicists!!. This book is one of the best books on fluid dynamics I have ever read. Definitely, it was written for phycisist looking for a deep understanding of the astonishing fluid behavior rather than for applications. The author carefully explains, with a lot of wonderful photographs and simple pictures, all the basic ideas and fundamental
Particular emphasis is given to information obtained by experiment and observation in addition to analysis of the equations of motion. This book presents the physics of incompressible flow for the benefit of students and others who need to understand fluid motion. Special features include an introductory non-mathematical treatment of three particular flow configurations; extensive consideration of geophysical topics; and detailed coverage of topics that are known primarily through experimental data. New topics in the second edition include double diffusive convection and modern ideas about dynamical chaos. The book's primary concern is to convey a fundamental understanding of the behavior of fluids in motion. The discussion of instabilities has been restructured and the treatments of separation and of convection in horizontal layers considerably expanded.. Numerous photographs illustrate the phenomena discussed, and a concl
