Hi guys, some time ago i tried to purchase some books coming from the cheap "Pearson International Edition" and i found that they are horrible, chapters are messed up and weird stuff is everywhere in the book.
Now i want to buy a book from the cheap "Wiley International Edition", it looks like the edition is analogous with the Pearson's one so I'm asking: am i going to find bad suprises or i can trust Wiley on this? Does anybody have books from this edition? thank u!

What are the books about?
 
The books form Pearson are the Griffith's one (i.e. electrodynamics, quantum mech.). I need the book Incompressible Flow from Panton, the "real" edition is very expansive while the Wiley International is affordable for me!
 
Stay away from Wiley International Editions if they are printed in India. Those are just horrible.

The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...
