About This Item
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2011. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Using examples taken from everyday life, from hydraulic jumps in a kitchen sink to Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in clouds, the book provides readers with a better understanding of the world around them. It teaches the art of fluid-mechanical estimates and shows how the ideas and methods developed to study the mechanics of fluids are used to analyze other systems with many degrees of freedom in statistical physics and field theory." Octavo: 167 p. Original glossy boards; issued without a dust jacket. A fine copy.
