Contents:

1. Preface 2. Notation 3. Basic Concepts 4. Toward a Constitutive Law for Fluid Materials 5. Vorticity Laws 6. Fundamental concepts of turbulence 7. Dynamical Systems and Chaotic Advection 8. Boundary Layer Theory 9. Wave Propagation 10. Fundamentaks of Classical Thermodynamics 11. Appendixes 12. Index

Abstract: The book offers a novel but unified treatment of an established subject. It presents each topic as part of a wider class of problems so that a unity of concepts is emphasized over a unity of material. The authors aim for simplicity in presentation, stressing physical understanding over mathematical development. Specialized subjects such as chaotic advection, chaos and the onset of turbulence--problems that are being tackled in research and industry now--are given particular attention.
