Biography

Sergey Nazarenko is a professor at the University of Warwick. His research focuses on fluid dynamics, turbulence, and waves, including wave turbulence, magneto-hydrodynamic turbulence, superfluid turbulence, water waves, Rossby waves, vortices and jets in geophysical fluids, drift waves and zonal jets in plasmas, optical vortices and turbulence, and turbulence in Bose-Einstein condensates.

"There is no better way to fall in love with a particular subject then to learn it through problem solving. Sergey Nazarenko has created an important resource for mathematics and physics students and young researchers by introducing basics and techniques of fluid dynamics. Anyone involved in teaching fluid dynamics will treasure this book because it provides a clear path to help convey the beauty, elegance, and sophistication of this enticing area of science."
—Professor Natalia Berloff, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge and Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology

"This is an excellent book for fluid dynamics students. It gives a good overview of the theory through a large set of worthy example problems. After many classical textbooks on the subject, there is finally one with solved exercises. I fully appreciate the selection of topics."
—Professor Miguel Onorato, Physics Department, University of Torino
