Fluid Dynamics

Fluid Dynamics, by Michel Rieutord (Univ. Toulouse III Paul Sabatier), brings a different flavor to the fluid mechanics community. this book can serve as an excellent introduction to graduate students in applied mathematics and physics interested in pursuing research in specific areas of fluid mechanics. One of the strengths of the book is its culminating chapter, which provides detailed solutions to the exercises. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students. (R. N. Laoulache, Choice, Vol. 53 (2), October, 2015)

This is a revised and expanded translation of the original French edition . The important instabilities are discussed, and references for further reading are provided to the inquisitive reader. The helpful aspects are the solutions to the exercises provided at the end of each chapter to develop a better understanding of the subject. this textbook is a welcome addition to the existing literature on fluid mechanics.
