Need a book with good intro to Taylor Couette flow

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking to understand Taylor-Couette flow after completing an introductory course in aerodynamics, several resources are recommended. While specific book titles were not provided, informative links were shared, including a research paper on arXiv, a project from Clemson University, and an academic article discussing the relationship between Taylor-Couette flow and Rayleigh-Bénard convection. These resources aim to bridge the gap in knowledge from basic Couette flow to the more complex dynamics of Taylor-Couette flow, making them suitable for readers with a foundational understanding of fluid dynamics.

Hi I just finished a good intro to aerodynamics but I want to understand taylor couette flow. My book stopped at 2d couette flow between 2 plates.

I need a good book that someone with only an intro to Aero can understand! Any recommendations?

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...
