Description
This textbook provides an introduction to the fundamental physical aspects of fluid flows, focusing on the dynamical aspects rather than static ones. It covers topics such as vortex motions, waves, geophysical flows, chaos and turbulence, from the perspective of modern physics.
The book begins with the basics of flow nature and fluid properties, before presenting the conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy, and the equations of motion for both inviscid and viscous fluids. It also explores more advanced topics like water waves, sound waves, superfluids and the gauge theory of fluid flows.
Written for undergraduate and postgraduate students of theoretical physics, this book is structured around a series of self-contained chapters that can be presented separately as individual lectures. The material was developed from lecture notes for an intensive course on Elementary Fluid Mechanics given in 2003 and 2004 at the Nankai Institute of Mathematics.
