.Learning Fluid Dynamics on my Own

AI Thread Summary
Learning Fluid Dynamics independently can be effectively supported by Landau and Lifshitz's "Course of Theoretical Physics Volume 6," which is noted for its comprehensive coverage. While the book is a solid foundation, supplementary resources may enhance understanding and provide diverse perspectives. Engaging with additional texts or online materials could be beneficial for deeper insights. The discussion also references a related thread for further book recommendations. Overall, combining this primary resource with supplementary materials is advisable for a well-rounded grasp of fluid dynamics.

Hello everyone this is my first post.
I'm trying to learn Fluid Dynamics On my own.
I'm already a Physics Student,I have a Book for Landu And Lif****z Course of Theoretical Physics Volume 6 (Fluid Dynamics),SO far i see the book very good,but i was wondering if it's enough to learn it from this book,would i need something else or it's good?

thx

I have browsed the table of contents to Landau and Lifsh!tz, Fluid Mechanics, Second Edition : Volume 6 (Course of Theoretical Physics), and it seems reasonably comprehensive.

You may also wish to refer to this thread which contains additional books.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
