This textbook for graduate students and researchers discusses the elementary microscopic basis of the statistical theory of fluids as well as the classical aspects of deformation and pressure and the various conservation laws. A sampling of topics includes the diffusion of momentum under various flow conditions, the kinematics of fluids, potential flow, dynamics of vortices, laminar boundary layers, and hydrodynamic instabilities. Coverage extends to an examination of the properties of superfluid helium. --SciTech Book News<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> This is a book that should find a place in offices and cubicles whose occupants believe in the need for understanding its inventory of concepts from fluid mechanics. --Applied Mechanics Review<br>
