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.
 
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
