Fluid Dynamics standard reference

In summary, for standard references on fluid dynamics, G. K. Batchelor's "An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics" and Landau and Lif****z Vol. 6 are commonly used. Additionally, Sommerfeld's book on hydrodynamics covers interesting problems such as smoke rings. For CFD, recommended books include "Numerical Methods in Fluid Dynamics" by M. Holt, "Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics" by C. A. Fletcher, and "Computational Fluid Dynamics, An Introduction" by J. F. Wendt. There is also D. Acheson's "Elementary Fluid Dynamics" and T. Faber's "Fluid dynamics for physicists". However, it is a shame that the name "L

Hi. What's a standard reference for physicsts concerning the topic of fluid dynamics or computational FD.

G. K. Batchelor "An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics", and Landau and Lif****z Vol. 6 are the ones that I am used to. Also, Sommerfeld wrote a good old-school book on hydrodynamics where he treats a lot of cute problems like smoke rings and whatnot.

What about for CFD?

computational fluid dynamics... sorry, I don't know.

I've used those and D. Acheson's "Elementary Fluid Dynamics" and T. Faber's "Fluid dynamics for physicists".

As for CFD, the course at my uni recommends "Numerical Methods in Fluid Dynamics" by M. Holt, "Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics" by C. A. Fletcher and "Computational Fluid Dynamics, An Introduction" by J. F. Wendt

PS: It's outrageous that we can't say L-i-f-s-h-i-t-z! :rofl:
