Fluid Mechanics: Volume 6
Course of Theoretical Physics, Volume 6: Fluid Mechanics discusses several areas of concerns regarding fluid mechanics.
The book provides a discussion on the phenomenon in fluid mechanics and their intercorrelations, such as heat transfer, diffusion in fluids, acoustics, theory of combustion, dynamics of superfluids, and relativistic fluid dynamics.
The text will be of great interest to researchers whose work involves or concerns fluid mechanics.

Just to warn anyone who gets confused: this book is very frequently cited for its derivation of the Navier-Stokes-Landau-Lifshitz equations of fluctuating hydrodynamics. The section on fluctuating hydrodynamics is actually only contained in the third edition of the book with a purple front cover which was published after Landau had passed away.

Will never finish reading this book because I have made many passes on it already and I still learn new things. It's way over me most of the time because I'm not knowledgeable enough yet. Despite that It's still very intuitive and concise when it comes to the proofs. It's good if you're a beginning graduate and it's good if you're an advanced one. All in all this a classic from two legends.
