Physical Hydrodynamics

Deeply enriched edition of a classical textbook on fluid dynamics Links macroscopic and microscopic transport phenomena Experiments on fluids are presented in detail Simple presentation of mechanisms of flow processes and instabilities Richly illustrated, including colour images Includes exercises at chapter ends and solutions at the end of the book New to this edition Two new chapters on quasi parallel flows and on turbulence Representative examples from other experimental sciences: materials, environmental, life, and earth sciences, as well as the engineering sciences Illustrations have been completely revisited and widely improved, with an inset of colour photographs Exercises have been added at the end of a number of chapters This second edition of Physical Hydrodynamics is a deeply enriched version of a classical textbook on fluid dynamics. It retains the same pedagogical spirit, based on the authors' experience of teaching university students in the physical sciences, and emphasizes an experimental (inductive) approach rather than the more formal approach found in many textbooks in the field. A new edition was necessary as contact between the mechanics and physics approaches and their communities has increased continuously over the last few decades. Today the field is more widely open to other experimental sciences: materials, environmental, life, and earth sciences, as well as the engineering sciences. Representative examples from these fields have been included where possible, while retaining a general presentation in each case. This book should be useful for researchers and engineers in these various fields. Images have an essential place in fluid mechanics, and the illustrations in this edition have been completely revisited and widely improved. An inset of colour photographs is provided to stimulate the interest of readers. Exercises have also been added at the end of a number of chapters.
