General Principles -- Mass Density -- Analytical Mechanics -- Ideal Fluids -- Potential Flow -- Viscous Fluids -- Free Convection -- Magnetohydrodynamics -- Potential Flow in a Magnetic Field -- Magnetohydrodynamic Waves -- The Sunspots -- The Hamilton Equations of Motion -- Thermodynamics -- The Magnetic Field in the Stability of the Stars
Summary
Describes Fluid Dynamics, Magnetohydrodynamics, and Classical Thermodynamics as branches of Lagrange's Analytical Mechanics. This book formulates a Hamilton-Type Variational Principle as the proper mathematical technique for the theoretical description of the dynamic state of any fluid
