TI - Fluid mechanics: a geometrical point of view SN - 9780198805021 (hbk) U1 - 532 PY - 2018/// CY - Oxford PB - Oxford University Press KW - Fluid mechanics N1 - Vector fields -- Euler's equations -- The Navier-Stokes equations -- Ideal fluid flows -- Viscous flows -- Shocks -- Boundary layers -- Instabilities -- Integrable models -- Hamiltonian systems based on a lie algebra -- Curvature and instability -- Singularities -- Spectral methods -- Finite difference methods -- Geometric integrators N2 - This book emphasizes general principles of physics illustrated by simple examples in fluid mechanics. Advanced mathematics (e.g., Riemannian geometry and Lie groups) commonly used in other parts of theoretical physics (e.g. General Relativity or High Energy Physics) are explained and applied to Fluid Mechanics ER -
