An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics Author:G. K. Batchelor This successful textbook describing the fundamentals of the physics of real fluids makes accessible to students the understanding of common flow systems and flow phenomena which has been obtained from research over the past fifty years. It is intended for systematic use by both undergraduates and beginning graduate students of applied mathematic... more »s and engineerings. The book assumes no previous knowledge of fluid dynamics, and the material in it has been selected to introduce a reader to the important ideas and applications. The emphasis throughout is on physical principles and generalities of fluid dynamics. Particular attention is paid to the correspondence models of flow systems. Many photographs of flow fields are included. 615 pages. Published in South Asia by Foundation Books - Cambridge House, New Delhi.« less
