B. Lautrup (The Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark)

Physics of Continuous Matter

Exotic and Everyday Phenomena in the Macroscopic World

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Assuming only a basic knowledge of Newtonian mechanics, this textbook provides a unified, comprehensive, and coherent introduction to continuum mechanics from a modern perspective. It presents discussions of such topics as local thermodynamic equilibrium, existing models of turbulence, basic magnetohydrodrnamics, tsunamis, and explosions.
