Book Reviews of An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics

Book Review: Best Fluid Dynamics Book, Actually Not Introductory-level
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the best book on fluid dynamics. But it is actually not an "introductory" level book, so the beginners are not advised to start from this book. Moreover, it may not even be an appropriate TEXTBOOK for some intermediate-level (graduate) fluid dynamics courses (but indeed an excellent book for interested readers).

This book is for those who determine to work on fluid dynamics and those who require a relatively high level in theory.

Summary of An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics

First published in 1967, Professor Batchelor's classic work is still one of the foremost texts on fluid dynamics. His careful presentation of the underlying theories of fluids is still timely and applicable, even in these days of almost limitless computer power. This reissue ensures that a new generation of graduate students experiences the elegance of Professor Batchelor's writing.
