[A] highly original introductory text. . . . [that] emphasizes the molecular and microscopic origins of fluid phenomena. It is well illustrated with pictures resulting from actual experiments and numerical simulations, which are cleverly used to motivate the more mathematical developments. The authors have been involved in experimental and numerical modeling of fluid flows and related subjects, and many illustrations in the book are from their original work. -- Physics Today<br> The main advantage of Physical Hydronamics however, is that the book aims at providing a more physical understanding that underlies the mathematics. ... In short, the book gives a thorough and original coverage of fluid mechanics, in dealing with vortices and hydrodynamic instabilities it even goes beyond many of the other available textbooks. --Applied Rheology<br>
