I'm following An introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Are there any solutions to the problems? Is there a better book to follow?


Would appreciate, tx.

It looks like a good book.
I don't know of any solution sets. But mayeb that's not a bad thing. It's always good to struggle a bit on problems before seeing the solutions. My recommendation would be to try the problem and post your questions (showing work done so far) here on the boards to get feedback or help.
 
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...
