Classical Good book recommendations for the introduction of hydrodynamics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for understanding hydrodynamics for a school project. A participant, with a background in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermal physics, and quantum mechanics, seeks resources for a quick grasp of hydrodynamics, including detailed derivations. Recommendations include "Physical Fluid Mechanics" by Tritton, noted as more suitable for physics rather than engineering applications. An additional resource mentioned is an online book from Caltech, which covers some unique topics in fluid mechanics. The emphasis is on finding appropriate texts that cater to both physics and engineering perspectives in fluid dynamics.

Our school's project need the knowledge of the hydrodynamics, and I hope the grasp the idea quickly (detail derivation is also fine) I studied mechanics, electromagnetism, thermal physics and quantum mechanics already. Thanks!

Physical fluid mechanics by Tritton
This is more of a physics book. If you are solving engineering problems, you probably will need an engineering text.

Thanks!! I am a physics students.
 
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
