During the D.J. Griffiths, Introduction to Elementary Particles, the author introduces unpublished references "Classical Chromodynamics" and "Bare Bones of the Classical Theory of Gauge Fields", Reed College, Portland, O.R. which is written by Wheeler, N. A. (1981).

Where can I find this reference?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You could try emailing DJ Griffiths.
There are also many other places that discuss classical chromodynamics.
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
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...
