Good continuum mechanics book.

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking in-depth resources on continuum mechanics and classic gauge theory, several key recommendations emerged. A foundational text is Segel's book, which serves as a solid introduction. For a more advanced understanding, Marsden and Hughes' work is suggested as a valuable next step. Additionally, Truesdell's contributions in the Encyclopedia of Physics are highly regarded and considered hard to surpass for comprehensive coverage of the subject. These texts collectively provide a robust framework for studying continuum mechanics and gauge theory.

Hi I'm looking for a good, in depth book on continuum mechanics and classic gauge theory. Can you suggest something?

What I know about the subject is the chapter in Goldstein's classical mechanics.

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...
