A Primer on Fluid Mechanics with Applications
This textbook is a pedagogic introduction to a number of phenomena employing fluid mechanics. The approach is to consider various striking topics on fluid mechanics, without losing necessary mathematical rigor. Beginning with basic concepts and conservation laws for neutral and charged fluids, the authors apply and develop them to understand aerodynamics, locomotion of micro-organisms, waves in air and water, shock waves, hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic instabilities, stars and black holes, blood flow in humans, and superfluids.
A special focus is given to the important and difficult subject of turbulence and the book ends with a discussion on turbulence in quantum fluids. The book balances the qualitative explanations with formal treatment, in a compact manner. The textbook is dotted by a number of illustrative examples, mostly from real life, and exercises.The textbook is
