FLUID MECHANICS, VOL. 6, 2ND EDN: Course of Theoretical Physics - Vol. 6

The best series ever. But only for deadly passionate and enthusiastic research students

These are the best theoretical physics book series written by lev landau the gifted physicist.

Hi. I would like to report some errors in the equations appearing in the text. For example equations 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4 have rho instead of p in the RHS. There could be more errors which I have not noticed. I request the publishers to kindly check the equations properly. Also please provide us an updated version of the book.

Pros: The product was delivered on time. Packing was good. Cons: The quality of paper is extremely poor. It appears like a pirated book. I could not verify whether the book is original Elsevier product.

Fantastic. The same content with acceptable print quality.

I'm a university researched in fluid dynamics, and this is the first book I go to when I need to look something up. It covers everything from the basics to more advanced topics I've been unable to find elsewhere (like for example the equations for a compressible viscous fluid). It's style is very straightforward and to the point. It's so good that, when I lost my previous copy, I had to buy another one.

Muchas Gracias, apesar que fue larga la esper, la entegra fue un excelente y el libro se encontro en buena condiciones. Saludos

Livro fantástico. Poucos livros tratam a mecânica dos fluidos de maneira tão formal e objetiva como este texto. Muito bem escrito e muito bem organizado. Depois de mais de 1 ano usando esta referência posso avaliar. Minha única crítica é em relação a tipografia usada com os símbolos do operador nabla trocado por "grad", "div" e "curl" mas faz sentido por ser um livro relativamente antigo, então isso é o de menos. Ótima aquisição.

I bought this book as a more advanced introduction to Fluid Dynamics after I had already taken a course in Fluid Dynamics during my early undergraduate career (and forgotten a good amount of it). Particularly, I was interested in learning more about turbulent flow, shockwaves, detonation, and more advanced topics in Fluid Dynamics for a course in the theory of supernovae. This book excellently and thoroughly covers these topics both in a mathematically sound and excellent way, as well as well-describing the phenomenology behind the explained topics. The book is simply, excellent, and most of the reviewers have already commented on the advantages of having a book that references thermodynamics very early on, that has solved example problems, and it covers a huge breadth of topics in excellent detail. I would not recommend this textbook to an undergraduate trying to learn fluid dynamics for the first time, unless they were very thorough and advanced in their coursework (probably a senior or junior level undergraduate looking to go on to study physics in graduate school). Excellent reference, excellent pedagogical writing style. I cannot say anything bad about this book!
