The Hamilton-Type Principle in Fluid Dynamics Fundamentals and Applications to Magnetohydrodynamics, Thermodynamics, and Astrophysics /

The book describes Fluid Dynamics, Magnetohydrodynamics, and Classical Thermodynamics as branches of Lagrange’s Analytical Mechanics; and in that sense, the approach presented in it is markedly different from the treatment given to them in traditional text books. A Hamilton-Type Variational Principl...
