"This textbook provides an accessible and self-contained introduction to the physics behind fluid dynamics; exploring the laws of nature describing three out of four fundamental states of matter (liquids, gases, and plasmas that consist of charged particles). It provides readers with the tools to understand and model fluid dynamical systems across a wide range of applications, from dense liquids to dilute space plasmas. This book covers the principles of fluid dynamics for an audience without prior exposure to fluid ...

"This textbook provides an accessible and self-contained introduction to the physics behind fluid dynamics; exploring the laws of nature describing three out of four fundamental states of matter (liquids, gases, and plasmas that consist of charged particles). It provides readers with the tools to understand and model fluid dynamical systems across a wide range of applications, from dense liquids to dilute space plasmas. This book covers the principles of fluid dynamics for an audience without prior exposure to fluid dynamics specifically but with a basic understanding of vector algebra, thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Example applications are drawn both from astrophysics and physics, touching upon exciting cutting edge research such as relativistic blast waves from stellar explosions and the implications of plasma nature of the atmosphere for present and future radio observatories. These will be contrasted and complemented with examples from general physics (e.g. contrasting the incompressible nature of water with the dilute interstellar medium). It is an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduates studying the topic and will provide a solid foundation for further (postgraduate) studies into fluid dynamics in physics or astrophysics"--
