The authors also briefly discuss some important  considerations to be taken into account when developing a numerical code for  computer simulation of fluid flows.       \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough  the text is populated throughout with examples and problems from the field of  astrophysics and  planetary science, the  text is eminently suitable as a general introduction to fluid dynamics.   It is  assumed that the readers are mathematically equipped with a reasonable knowledge  in analysis, including basics of ordinary and partial differential equations and  a good command of vector calculus and linear algebra.       \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach  chapter concludes with  bibliographical notes in which the authors briefly  discuss the chapter's essential literature and give recommendations for further,  deeper reading.  Included in each chapter are a number of problems, some of  them relevant to astrophysics and  planetary science. The  book is written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, but will also  prove a valuable source of reference for established researchers.        \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-05-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493979929\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-3164-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 680\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45582353596556,"sku":"9781493979929","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493979929.jpg?v=1775766997","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781493979929","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
