Hydrodynamic instabilities / Francois Charru ; translated by Patricia de Forcrand-Millard.
"The instability of fluids is a key topic in classical fluid mechanics because it has huge repercussions for applied disciplines such as chemical engineering, hydraulics, aeronautics and meteorology. This modern introduction is written for any student, researcher or practitioner working in the...
