Features: This classic work, first published in 1967, remains one of the most important textbooks in the field of fluid dynamics even today. In today's era of widespread computer and network technology, the detailed description of the fundamental theories of fluid dynamics in the book is still timely and applicable. The republication of this book allows contemporary undergraduate and graduate students to appreciate the elegant style of Professor Batchelor's writings. The book introduces the fundamental theories of real fluid physics, enabling students to understand common flow systems and flow phenomena derived from research over the past half-century. The focus of the book is on the physical principles and universality of fluid dynamics, with particular attention paid to the relationship between various conceptual and analytical models of flow systems and observational data. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in applied mathematics and engineering programs. It has been adopted as a textbook by several renowned universities, such as the University of Cambridge in the UK and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the US.
