Good book recommendations for the introduction of hydrodynamics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommended resources for understanding hydrodynamics, particularly for students with a background in physics. "Physical Fluid Mechanics" by Tritton is highlighted as a foundational text, though it is noted to be more physics-oriented than engineering-focused. For those tackling engineering problems, it is advised to seek out engineering-specific texts. Additionally, an online resource, available at http://brennen.caltech.edu/fluidbook/, is mentioned for its unique topics related to fluid mechanics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic mechanics
  • Familiarity with fluid dynamics principles
  • Knowledge of physics concepts, including electromagnetism and thermal physics
  • Ability to apply mathematical derivations in physical contexts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research engineering-focused hydrodynamics textbooks
  • Explore the online resource at http://brennen.caltech.edu/fluidbook/ for additional insights
  • Study advanced topics in fluid dynamics, such as turbulence and flow analysis
  • Investigate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for practical applications
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, engineering students, and professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of hydrodynamics and its applications in engineering contexts.

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.
