Product Description

Review

'This book gives an excellent introduction to fluid dynamics … many interesting and important photographs of fluid flows are included in order to help the students who do not have an opportunity of observing flow phenomena in a laboratory. The book also contains exercises at the end of each chapter. In comparison with many currently available books, I find this book by Batchelor especially stimulating and useful for students of applied mathematics and engineering.' L. Debnath, Zentralblatt MATH

' … a must-read for a proper understanding of the subject …' Resonance

Product Description

First published in 1967, Professor Batchelor's classic text on fluid dynamics is still one of the foremost texts in the subject. The careful presentation of the underlying theories of fluids is still timely and applicable, even in these days of almost limitless computer power. This re-issue should ensure that a new generation of graduate students see the elegance of Professor Batchelor's presentation.

Format:Paperback
This is possibly the best introduction to fluid mechanics for those that want to develop a deep insight into the area. The mathematical treatment is clearly presented, and the physical arguments insightful. Possibly not recommended for those that want a simple, quick introduction.

Was told this was a compulsary purchase for a course I took in my 3rd year of my undergraduate theoretical phyics course, so I went out and bought it! First time taking a Fluid Dynamics course and this book was way too hard to follow for an introduction! Don't but it unless you already know alot about this topic..!!

Classic in Fluid mechanics 25 Sep 2001
By Min Young Yi - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
G.K.Batchelor was regarded as the leading figure in fluid mechanics from 1950 ~ 2000. He was a founder of AMTP(Applied mathmatics and theoretical physics) group in Cambridge Univ. and also a founder of 'Jounal of Fluid Mechanics', a leading and top class journal in the field of fluid mechanics. Also was a favorite student of G.I.Taylor.

I think this volume is a bridge between the old classic(ex. H. Lamb's Hydrodynamics) and today's many texts for fluid mechanics somewhat biased to applications and computations.

It deals with all branches of fluid mechanics except Gas dynamics, free convection, lubrication theory, magnetohydrodynamics and hydrodynamics stability. The first three chapters summarise basic concepts in thermo & fluid mechanics and trasport phenomena. I think chapter 1,2,3 are very severe and deep. And there are collections of important photos of fluid phenomena.(You can also refer M. Van Dyke's 'An album of fluid motion)

Although the title is 'An introduction to...' it's not an introductory level, and the mathematics it deals are somewhat omitted. I think this text is an advance graduate level.

Batchelor - Classic Fluid Mechanics Text 7 April 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This classic text outlines the fundamental theory of fluid mechanics. It is an excellent source for careful and exhaustive derivations of the fundamental equations and physical discussions of basic problems. It is NOT a user's guide nor an introductory text.

Great "introduction" to those well-versed in the subject 15 Mar 2003
By Walter Reade - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If you get through this text, you are on your way to fluid dynamics mastery. It covers much more than most engineering students will need (or care to) know. It is an important text, but should be a complementary study aid.
