A comprehensive textbook in which the author describes the science of
waves in liquids and gases. Drawing on a subject of enormous extent and
variety, he provides his readers with a thorough analysis of the most
important and representative types of waves including sound waves, shock
waves, waterwaves of all kinds, and the so-called internal waves (inside
atmospheres and oceans) due to intensity stratification. Emphasis
throughout is on the most generally useful fundamental ideas of wave
science, including the principles of how waves interact with flows. This
standard work on one of the great subdivisions of the dynamics of fluids is
lucidly written and will be invaluable to engineers, physicists,
geophysicists, applied mathematicians or any research worker concerned with
wave motions or fluid fllows. It is especially suitable as a textbook for
courses at the final year undergraduate or graduate level.
