This textbook is a pedagogic introduction to a number of phenomena
employing fluid mechanics. Beginning with basic concepts and
conservation laws for neutral and charged fluids, the authors apply
and develop them to understand aerodynamics, locomotion of
micro-organisms, waves in air and water, shock waves, hydrodynamic
and hydromagnetic instabilities, stars and black holes, blood flow
in humans, and superfluids. The approach is to consider various
striking topics on fluid mechanics, without losing necessary
mathematical rigor. The book balances the qualitative explanations
with formal treatment, in a compact manner. A special focus is
given to the important and difficult subject of turbulence and the
book ends with a discussion on turbulence in quantum fluids. The
textbook is dotted by a number of illustrative examples, mostly
from real life, and exercises. The textbook is designed for a one
semester course and addresses students at undergraduate and
graduate level in physics or engineering, who want to research in
the fields as diverse as aeronautics, meteorology, cosmology,
biomechanics, and mathematical physics. It is requested knowledge
of an undergraduate level course on mathematical methods to better
understand the topics presented here.
