Well there are tons of books that fit your bill. For example, gas dynamics can mean a lit of things. Incompressible/compressible, inviscid/viscid, etc... it just depends on what you are asking.

What exactly are you trying to gain from the answers. That might help tailor them better. I can tell you that for basic aerodynamics, "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics" by Anderson is popular. For compressible flow, "Modern Compressible Flow: With Historical Perspective" by Anderson is popular. For viscous flow, both "Viscous Fluid Flow" by White and "Boundary-Layer Theory" by Schlichting are popular. It just depends on what branch of fluids you are trying to study.
