Title: Vectors, Tensors and the Basic Equations of Fluid Mechanics (Dover Books on Engineering) by Rutherford Aris ISBN: 0-486-66110-5 Publisher: Dover Publications Pub. Date: 01 January, 1990 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $14.95 |

Summary: Not for the weakhearted!
Comment: This is one of those pithy classics that one needs to tread through very very carefully. The book is an uphill task, wherein rests its utility and fun. Fluid Mechanics in its simplified diluted version is served in many OTHER textbooks. This one serves it in its raw mathematical glory, and as the author says in the preface of the book, any serious engineer and fluid mechanician must realize that math must be befriended and mastered. The author makes very terse, and powerful introduction to the field. I would recommend a physicist to supplement it with a text by Faber, for Chemical Engineer to study it after the famous BSL (Transport Phenomenon), for a mathematician to pick it on any day, and for everyone in general to approach it with determination required to climb a rocky terrain. (Ah! I guess I would write an even better review if and when I finish reading it:)
Rating: 3
Summary: Good reference
Comment: This book would be good for a reference, however, I would not reccomend it for learning the subject or to supplement a course on fluid mechanics.
Rating: 4
Summary: Primer
Comment: This book comes from the author who is influenced by Clifford Truesdell(pioneer of Rational Continuum Mechanics & Thermodynamics). This book can be a good introductory material to begin study in rational mechanics. However, not so serious students may find it disappointing. One can surely learn some good tensor manipulation skills with application to fluid mechanics.
