Description for Foundations of Fluid Dynamics
Hardback. In this monograph on fluid mechanics, the author writes from the vantage point of a mathematical physicist he carefully analyzes the power of the theory. He treats, among others, the theories of Leray, Ruelle and Takens, and discusses Lorenz's ideas of attractors. Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 532 pages, 3 black & white illustrations, 2 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PDE; PHDF; TBJ; TGMF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 30. Weight in Grams: 940.
The imagination is struck by the substantial conceptual identity between the problems met in the theoretical study of physical phenomena. It is absolutely unexpected and surprising, whether one studies equilibrium statistical me chanics, or quantum field theory, or solid state physics, or celestial mechanics, harmonic analysis, elasticity, general relativity or fluid mechanics and chaos in turbulence. So when in 1988 I was made chair of Fluid Mechanics at the Universita La Sapienza, not out of recognition of work I did on the subject (there was none) but, rather, to avoid my teaching mechanics, from which I could have a strong ...

Reviews for Foundations of Fluid Dynamics
"Gallavotti’s remarkable new book, Foundations of Fluid Dynamics, takes a fresh look at the essential formulation and phenomenology of fluid dynamics as reflected in the research of the 70s, 80s and 90s. [...] Foundations of Fluid Dynamics is strongly recommended, by this reviewer, for acquisition by academic libraries and for the use of anyone with a serious interest in the ... Read more
