A Classic June 23, 2008
This book is a classic. I have used it for years. It originally came in two volumes. Someone borrowed my old Volume I and failed to return it. I now have both volumes in one convenient package.
The Bible for the Study of the hydrodynamics of high temperature, compressible fluids October 9, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This majisterial work by the famous Russian physicist/astrophysicist Yakov B. Zeldovich is the first and last book to refer to when studying the hydrodynamics of compressible fluids at high temperatures. The author's primary goal is to describe (as well as possible in a roughly 1000 page text) the physics, chemistry, and radiation diagnostics (i.e. radiative transfer) of a 20 kt thermonuclear explosion in the atmosphere. This book will be of use to a wide range of physicists and astrophysicists in other areas of research as well, though. The book begins with a (brief) discussion of the basics of the physics of shocks (and the hydrodynamics/thermodynamics of supersonic flow in general). More detailed topics include a detailed discussion of the ionization of the air (i.e. a change of adiabatic index from 7/5 to 5/3), the broad band spectrum of the explosion, and many others. Any absolute must have for any scientist studying compressible/supersonic flows.
a treasure February 25, 2006
This book is a true classic, written by the great Zel'dovich
a long time ago. Dover's two-volumes-in-one book new edition
provides an excellent opportunity to enrich every physics
library, private or institutional.
Must Have It! July 4, 2002

This rare gem presents theory, experiments, and applications in a comprehensive and accessible manner. This is a must-have for theorists and experimentalists: it brings theorists back to earth, and gives experimentalists scientific rigor.
The definiative text on the subject May 3, 2002

I am happy to see this outstanding text in print once again. This book is a must have for all who are interested in the subject of radiation-hydrodynamics.
