This introductory book addresses a broad range of classical Fluid
Dynamics topics, interesting applications, and related problems in
everyday life. The geophysical and astrophysical applications
discussed concern e.g. the shape and internal structure of the
Earth and stars, the dynamics of the atmosphere and ocean,
hydrodynamic instabilities, and the different kinds of waves that
can be found in the atmosphere, ocean and solid Earth. Non-linear
waves (solitons) are also mentioned. In turn, the book explores
problems from everyday life, including the motion of golf balls,
life at low Reynolds numbers, the physics of sailing, and the
aerodynamics of airplanes and Grand Prix cars. No book on this
topic would be complete without a look at chaos and turbulence;
here the problems span from Gaussian plumes to chaotic dynamos, to
stochastic climate modeling. Advances in fluid dynamics have
produced a wealth of numerical methods and techniques, which are
used in many of the applications. Given its structure, the book can
be used both for an introductory course to fluid dynamics and as
preparation for more advanced problems typical of graduate-level
courses.
