Physical Fluid Dynamics (Oxford Science Publications) 2nd Edition by D. J. Tritton (PDF)

Description

This book presents the physics of incompressible flow for the benefit of students and others who need to understand fluid motion. In this new edition, much of the material is new or rewritten, but the purpose and style of the first edition are retained. Particular emphasis is given to information obtained by experiment and observation in addition to analysis of the equations of motion. The book’s primary concern is to convey a fundamental understanding of the behavior of fluids in motion. Special features include an introductory non-mathematical treatment of three particular flow configurations; extensive consideration of geophysical topics; and detailed coverage of topics that are known primarily through experimental data. Numerous photographs illustrate the phenomena discussed, and a concluding chapter demonstrates the wide applicability of fluid mechanics. New topics in the second edition include double diffusive convection and modern ideas about dynamical chaos. Thediscussion of instabilities has been restructured and the treatments of separation and of convection in horizontal layers considerably expanded.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review From reviews of the first edition: ‘reminds one of Prandtl’s classic, ‘Fuhrer durch die Stromungslehre’… well suited as a text for introductory courses addressed to engineering students.’ Journal of Fluid Mechanics’It should be quite straightforward to use Physical Fluid Dynamics as a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses…[It] is one of those rare books that offers a qualitative advance over what was available previously.’ American Journal of Physics on the first edition. From the Back Cover The author here presents the dynamics of incompressible flow from the viewpoint of the physicist for the benefit of students and others in a variety of disciplines who need to understand fluid motion. The book will be of value to a wide range of readers, including those in the Earth sciences, physicists, engineers, and applied mathematicians. About the Author D. J.

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

⭐The best book ever written on fluid dynamics for physicists is the one by Landau and Lifshitz. But Landau & Lifshitz is not accessible to undergraduates. I know, I tried using it in class and created a revolution. David Tritton was a professor of physics at the University of Newcastle in the UK. They had a unique emphasis on geophysics and this book was written to help undergraduate physics majors. I consider it the leading book for such students.

⭐If you are afraid of mathematics but want to learn fluid dynamics then this should be your choice. This book might not contain lots of mathematical equations a typical fluid dynamics book could have, but Tritton had explained certain concepts in fluid dynamics very clearly. This book gave me lots of insights and supplemented my pre-existing knowledge in the subject.

⭐You must have this book in your bookshelf if you are a fluid-dynamicist. As the title suggests, it is about the physics of fluid dynamics.

⭐This book is indeed very good, as it presents deeper analysis of many fluids phenomena, departing from basic ideas and fundamental concepts. But in my opinion you must already have a good understanding of fluid mechanics to really enjoy it. I guess it would not be easy for a begginer in the matter, and guess that’s why some may call it confusing. In fact, you won’t find that current structured treatment of the matter that other books (mainly the textbooks) presents, or the contents of regular under-graduate or graduate courses in engineering, with common engineering applications, and so on. Nevertheless, as a teacher and researcher in the field of fluid mechanics, I really enjoyed reading it, and it really improved my understanding on many topics.

⭐I really enjoyed this book. I found it in a bookstore one day and read it for pleasure slowly. I am a theory student (now) so I wanted to see a lot more math, but aside from that shortcoming (which some might welcome) it was just a fantastic description of fluid motion and derivations of the governing equations on a simple level.

⭐It’s unbelievable how confusing a fluid mechanics book can be. Tritton achieved to present fluid mechanics in a way that only mathematicians (with usually no interest in fluid mechanics) can comprehend. If you need to really understand fluid mechanics and not to continuously deal with divergences and curls, better look for another book.

⭐excellent product, arrived promptly.

⭐Very good quality!
