Hydrodynamic and Hydromagnetic Stability (International Series of Monographs on Physics)

This is an excellent graduate-level book on hydrodynamics. I was very impressed by the depth of this old book. Would highly recommend.

Great text.Well written although a very basic knowledge of some concepts is required.Pictures and illustrations are direct and informative.Great buy in short.

This is one of the standard monographs on hydrodynamic instabilities, considered a classic. It was published by Oxford UP in 1961 and is kept in print (at a bargain price) by Dover. It is still very usable, easy to read, and an excellent introduction, although on some points it is out of date. For Rayleigh-Benard convection, a reader would do well to consult more recent books like Drazin & Reid, Swinney & Gollub, Koschmieder, and Getling. However, nobody covers the linear theory better than Chandrasekhar.

This is one of the classic books written by Chandrasekhar. This isextremely helpful for the people working on Hydrodynamic andHydromagnetic Stability.

First off - a highly detailed and well scripted work on the subject fluid dynamics. Recommended only for gifted graduate students and as a reference for scientists in the field. And collectors like me 😂Prof.S.Chandrasekhar, who is usually well known for his work in stellar Astrophysics and general relativity, appears here as an authority in the field of fluid dynamics. He is, however, modest to acknowledge that this work was mainly built-up from fruitful discussions with his peers and colleagues. It is also a rare account of his involvement in experimental study of fluid flows in different configurations, as he was primarily a theorist. In the chapter of gravitational instabilities on fluids, although he acknowledges the astrophysical implications of the study, he still confines the development towards hydrodynamics.

思っていた以上に難しい本ですが、キンドル本なら何時でも読めるので、何とか読破してみます。キンドル本の文字が小さく読みづらいので、ハードカバーの中古品を購入しました。”可”の評価ですが、読書するには何の支障もありません。非常に良い状態で購入出来ました。

Allways satisfied with the Dover Books :pDelivery on time, state is as described, "gut wie immer"Go for it.

Nice.

Simply superb book.
