An Introduction to the Mechanics of Fluids (Modern Birkhäuser Classics) by C. Truesdell (PDF)

Description

A compact, moderately general book which encompasses many fluid models of current interest…The book is written very clearly and contains a large number of exercises and their solutions. The level of mathematics is that commonly taught to undergraduates in mathematics departments.. ―Mathematical ReviewsThe book should be useful for graduates and researchers not only in applied mathematics and mechanical engineering but also in advanced materials science and technology…Each public scientific library as well as hydrodynamics hand libraries should own this timeless book…Everyone who decides to buy this book can be sure to have bought a classic of science and the heritage of an outstanding scientist. ―SilikátyAll applied mathematicians, mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, and engineering mechanics graduates and researchers will find the book an essential reading resource for fluids.―Simulation News Europe

Editorial Reviews: Review From the 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 authors have backgrounds which are ideally suited for writing this book. The late C. Truesdell is well known for his monumental treatises on continuum thermomechanics. K. R. Rajagopal has made many important contributions to the mechanics of continua in general, and to nonlinear fluids in particular. They have produced a compact, moderately general book which encompasses many fluid models of current interest. … This is an excellent book which is highly recommended to students and researchers in fluid mechanics.” (Mathematical Reviews) From the Back Cover The authors have backgrounds which are ideally suited for writing this book.

The topics range from Euler fluids to memory fluids, and the framework is general enough to treat other nonlinear fluids than those explicitly mentioned…The book should be useful for graduates and researchers not only in applied mathematics and mechanical engineering but also in advanced materials science and technology…Each public scientific library as well as hydrodynamics hand libraries should own this timeless book…Doubtlessly everyone who decides to buy this book can be sure to have bought a classic of science and the heritage of an outstanding scientist. ―SilikátyAll applied mathematicians, mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, and engineering mechanics graduates and researchers will find the book an essential reading resource for fluids.―Simulation News Europe

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐There is no other introduction to fluid mechanics that even comes close to this book. I hope it becomes the standard introduction to the subject. It is unique, clear, and perceptive. The best think I can say for it is this: A student could spend decades trying reach the level of understanding they would get from reading this elegant book.

⭐this is the last book of the great Truesdell and it is simply bad! Everyone knowing Truesdell as the sharp intellectual and prolific writer he was in his lifetime can only shake their heads when looking at this book. Has anyone proofread this book? I do not think so. There are typos already in the introduction and then on nearly every page. Concepts are introduced but never used – the book even starts by stating that a “body” is a measurable set but this property is not used again. These sort of flaws happen over and over again. Do not buy this book! Buy the Intro to Continuum Mechanics instead (unfortunately only available antiquarian). Truesdell was an intellectual giant; this book does not show a trace of that.
