Book on renormalization group in fluid dynamics?

[ashnek]

I found between my family's books (cousins mostly) 4 books for fluid mechanics, and since next semester i ll be taking it it d be cool if i could just chose between them. Oh btw its for mechanical engineering
i currently have:
Fluid Mechanics. Robert A. Granger
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0486683567/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Fluid Mechanics. Frank. M. White (older version than the link)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0072831804/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Fluid Mechanics Kundu, Cohen
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0123821002/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Fluid Mechanics Streeter, Wylie
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0070622426/?tag=pfamazon01-20I have read some subjects on all of them i don't rlly like Streeter and the one by White seems good, i really Kundu's and Granger's but i can't rlly decide between them, and i was looking in the forum for opinions of the granger book but didnt find any so I am wondering if anybody has it or anyway just what you think about them. Thank you!

Hello!

I am looking for a recent book on renormalization group methods with applications in fluid dynamics (yes, nothing more relaxing than reading up on RNG theory beneath the Christmas tree). Most books I've seen focus more on quantum mechanics but I'm more interested in the practical applications in fluid dynamics, specifically in the area of turbulence.
At the moment I'm thinking about buying the book of MCComb, but other suggestions are welcome. A recent review paper could potentially also be interesting.

I would like to further my understanding in aerospace fluid dynamics as I'm hoping to apply to a fluid dynamics department that sways more towards scientific understanding, at an aero gas turbine company. I have recently read the book entitled Anderson's CFD; Basics with Applications, and I am currently using Fluent to solve various simple problems. I'm looking for a book that provides the next step in fluids, preferably in a clear manner such as in Anderson's books. Should this be of a particular area i.e. turbulence or multiphase fluids, or is there a general book I should read first? I'm unsure of my preferences yet without working in each area, therefore my question partly relates to what people normally do in this circumstance.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Books similar to "Introduction to Dynamical Oceanography" Pond&Pickard

Hi.

It was recommended for one of my http://www.unis.no/studies/Arctic_Geophysics/agf_211.htm next year that I have a basic understanding of oceanography corresponding to Chapter 1-6, 8, 9.11 in Pond and Pickard (1983): "Introduction to Dynamical Oceanography". So I thought I should use the christmas break to give myself a crash course. Unfortunately the local University library doesn't have the book, so I wondered if there are any online texts on the same level or any other books that I can check if the library has.
