    Book Flow Potential

SUMMARY

The discussion centers around locating a book that integrates concepts of stress/strain, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and electrodynamics as potential functions. Participants recommend "Engineering Field Theory" by A.J. Baden Fuller, which covers most of these areas but lacks elastostatics. Another suggestion is "Advanced Vector Analysis" by C.E. Weatherburn, which includes elastostatics but is primarily focused on vector analysis. Both books are older but still relevant for understanding these interconnected fields.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stress and strain in materials
  • Basic knowledge of fluid dynamics principles
  • Familiarity with thermodynamics concepts
  • Fundamentals of electrodynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Engineering Field Theory" by A.J. Baden Fuller for foundational concepts
  • Explore "Advanced Vector Analysis" by C.E. Weatherburn for a comprehensive view of vector analysis
  • Investigate the role of elastostatics in engineering applications
  • Study the interconnections between fluid dynamics and thermodynamics in engineering contexts
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in engineering, physics, and applied mathematics who are interested in the relationships between various physical theories and their applications.

Okay, I apologize if this is in the wrong location, but someone once told me of a book and I figured this was the "best" place to post an inquiry as it covers many fields.

Supposedly there exists a book, an older one if I'm not mistaken, that relates the concepts of stress/strain, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and electrodynamics as forms of potential functions with different constants. Does anyone happen to know the name of this book? I would dearly love to find a copy, but know not the author, title, or if it even truly exists. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks for taking your time to glance at this post!

Are you looking for a maths book, a physics book or an engineering book?

Engineering Field Theory by A J Baden Fuller covers most of what you seek plus some other areas, but not the elastostatics.

Not sure what kind of a book it is. I was told it existed and I was very curious, as I love to see the interconnections.

Thanks for the find. I'm bummed that the elastostatics isn't involved, but it is definitely a step in the direction. Thanks for sharing!
 
You might also look at

Advanced Vector Analysis by C E Weatherburn

This covers all your areas including elastostatics, but the book is entitled vector analysis so potential theory is 'woven in'. Further it is an older book ( but " Still Good" like the Norman Rockwell adverts) so somewhat dated in content.

go well
