There is a certain body of knowledge and methods that finds
application in most branches of fluid mechanics. This book aims to
supply a proper theoretical understanding that will permit sensible
simplifications to be made in the formulation of problems, and
enable the reader to develop analytical models of practical
significance. Such analyses can be used to guide more detailed
experimental and numerical investigations. As in most technical
subjects, such understanding is acquired by detailed study of
highly simplified 'model problems'. The first part (Chapters 1-4)
is concerned entirely with the incompressible flow of a homogeneous
fluid. It was written for the Boston University introductory
graduate level course 'Advanced Fluid Mechanics'. The remaining
Chapters 5 and 6 deal with dispersive waves and acoustics, and are
unashamedly inspired by James Lighthill's masterpiece, Waves in
Fluids.
