• 1. Fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics ; 2. Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equations ; 3. Inviscid Incompressible Flows ; 4. Elements of Gasdynamics

This is the first of four volumes which cover essential areas of fluid mechanics in an admirable breadth and depth. The series is ideally suited for MSc students reading Mathematics, Engineering, or Physics as well as PhD students. Established researchers in the field will also benefit from the precision and clarity achieved by the authors, which among others provides the reader and here is some similarity with the Theoretical Physics series by Landau & Lifshitz with a glimpse into the Russian school of fluid dynamics.
