Title: My favorite grad fluids book
Product review: Kundu is my new favorite graduate level fluids text. It is every bit as rigorous as Panton, but Kundu takes a step back to revisit some of the mathematics. He even goes so far as to remind the reader at one point that i = sqrt(-1). I would have appreciated this as a grad student myself.The section on waves, the wave equation and simplifications to analyze gravity is excellent. It shows his background in Oceanography. His section on potential flow really makes the correlation between the mathematics and the physical intuition necessary to make sense of the mathematics.Overall, I find it to be a rigorous yet readable text.
