A bright clean working copy structurally sound and tightly bound showing mild wear and the other noted imperfections. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. Large 8vo 9.65 x 6.8 x 1.15 inches . Translated by J. B. Sykes and W. H. Reid. Language: English. Weight: 32.4 ounces. The first English Edition was published in 1959. Paperback. This is an outstanding book. The former students of the great Russian physicist Lev Landau wrote a text based on his teaching and his papers as well as on their own work. This is the most comprehensive introductory graduate or advanced undergraduate text in fluid mechanics available. It builds up from the fundamentals often in a general way to widespread applications to technology and geophysics. New to this second edition are discussions on the universal dimensions similarity scaling for the laminar boundary layer equations and on the generalized vector field derivatives. In addition new material on the generalized streamfunction treatment shows how streamfunction may be used in three-dimensional flows. Finally a new Computational Fluid Dynamics chapter enables compulations of some simple flows and provides entry to more advanced literature. Basic introduction to the subject of fluid mechanics intended for undergraduate and beginning graduate students of science and engineering. Includes topics of special interest for geophysicists and to engineers. New and generalized treatment of similar laminar boundary layers streamfunctions for three-dimensional flows vector field derivatives and gas dynamics. Also a new generalized treatment of boundary conditions in fluid mechanics and expanded treatment of viscous flows. For those 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. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xii 539 pages . Elsevier: Butterworth & Heinemann paperback

Publisher's Code Indicates First Printing. Near Fine In Near Fine Dust Jacket. Ownership Stamp Of Caltech Professor C. Hewitt Dix. Fritz Rohrlich 1921 -2018 Was An American Theoretical Physicist And Educator Who Published In The Fields Of Quantum Electrodynamics Classical Electrodynamics Of Charged Particles And The Philosophy Of Science. Rohrlich Was Born In Vienna Austria In 1921. In 1939 He Emigrated To Study At The Technion In Haifa In Modern-Day Israel Where He Was Awarded A Diploma In Industrial Chemistry In 1943. He Then Began Work In Jerusalem As A Technician For The British Armed Forces. He Was Able To Concurrently Study Physics With Giulio Racah At The Hebrew University Of Jerusalem Which Was His Ultimate Goal. In June 1942 His Parents Became Victims Of The Holocaust; They Had Been Deported To The Sobibór Extermination Camp By The Authorities In Austria. In 1946 Rohrlich Was Accepted For Graduate Studies At Harvard University In The United States. He Received A Master's Degree In 1947 And A Doctorate In 1948; His Doctoral Thesis Advisor Was Julian Schwinger. At Harvard He Was Also A Teaching Assistant For Norman Foster Ramsey. In 1948 He Joined The Institute For Advanced Study In Princeton New Jersey; As Max Jammer Wrote Much Later "For Rohrlich This Was One Of The Highlights Of His Life: He Met Einstein Pais Placzek Uhlenbeck Dyson And The Mathematicians Gödel Von Neumann And Weyl; He Was Present When Von Laue And Yukawa Visited The Institute. In 1949 He Became A Research Associate With Hans Bethe At Cornell University. There He Met Richard Feynman Which Revived His Interest In The Problems Of Divergences In The Classical Electrodynamic Theory For Charged Particles For Which He Later Became A Leading Expert. At The Same Time He Also Made Significant Contributions To The Establishment Of Early Quantum Electrodynamics And In Particular He Demonstrated The Equivalence Of The Various Formulations For Spin-0 Particles After Freeman Dyson Had Demonstrated The Version Of Spin-½ Particles. In 1951 He Became An Assistant Professor At Princeton University. There He Gave Lectures On Quantum Electrodynamics From Which His Seminal Textbook Written With Josef-Maria Jauch Emerged. In 1953 He Became An Associate Professor And Colleague Of Jauch At The University Of Iowa; The Text The Theory Of Photons And Electrons Was First Published In 1955. In 1963 He Became A Professor At Syracuse University Where He Spent The Rest Of His Career; His Text Classical Charged Particles Was First Published In 1965. In Addition To His Work In Theories Of Quantum And Classical Electrodynamics In The Early 1960S He Also Investigated With T. Fulton And Louis Witten The Problem Of The Radiation Of The Free-Falling Charged Particle In The General Theory Of Relativity And The Question Of Whether This Violated The Principle Of Equivalence. In The 1980S He Put His Focus On The Philosophy Of Science And Wrote The Text From Paradox To Reality: Our Basic Concepts Of The Physical World. In 1991 He Retired And Became A Professor Emeritus. He Remained Active In Research For Many Years Thereafter And In 2009 Was Honored By The Lifetime "Outstanding Referee" Designation Of The American Physical Society. Addison- Wesley hardcover
