‘The authors have backgrounds which are ideally suited for writing this book. They have produced a compact, moderately general book which encompasses manyfluid models of current interest…The book is written very clearly and contains a large number of exercises and their solutions. The level of mathematics isthat commonly taught to undergraduates in mathematics departments. This is anexcellent book which is highly recommended to students and researchers in fluid mechanics.’ Mathematical Reviews ‘The writing style is quintessential Truesdellania: purely mathematical, breathtaking, irrepressible, irreverent, uncompromising, taking no prisoners The book is filled with historical nuggets…Its pure, exact mathematics will baptize, enlighten and exhilarate.’ Applied Mechanics Review ‘The most positive aspect of this book is its brevity; a large number of topics are covered within the space of a little more than 250 pages.’ Current Science. An affordable new softcover edition of a classic text Written by world-renowned experts in the field of fluid mechanics, including a co-founder of modern continuum mechanics Replete with exercises and their solutions Written at a level commonly taught to undergraduates in mathematics departments A large number of topics covered in a little over 250 pages INDICE: Preface.- General References.- Bodies, Configurations, and Motions.- Kinematics and Basic Laws.- Constitutive Equations, Reduced Constitutive Equations, and Internal Constraints.- Simple Fields.- Flows of Incompressible Fluids in General.- Some Flows of Particular Nonlinear Fluids.- Some Flows of Fluids of Grade 2.- Navier-Stokes Fluids.- Incompressible Euler Fluids.- Compressible Euler Fluids.- Singular Surfaces and Waves.- Some Elementary Results from Real Analysis.- Index.
