This modern introduction is written for any student, researcher, or practitioner working in the area, for whom an understanding of hydrodynamic instabilities is essential. Based on a decade's experience of teaching postgraduate students in fluid dynamics, this book brings the subject to life by emphasizing the physical mechanisms involved. The theory of dynamical systems provides the basic structure of the exposition, together with asymptotic methods. Wherever possible, Charru discusses the phenomena in terms of characteristic scales and dimensional analysis. The book includes numerous experimental studies, with references to videos and multimedia material, as well as over 150 exercises which introduce the reader to new problems. 410 0$aCambridge texts in applied mathematics ;$v37. 606 $aUnsteady flow (Fluid dynamics) 615 0$aUnsteady flow (Fluid dynamics) 676 $a620.1/064 700 $aCharru$b Franc?ois$01046152 702 $aForcrand-Millard$b Patricia de 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788624903321 996 $aHydrodynamic instabilities$93743167 997 $aUNINA
