Looking for a potential flow book

[Ignea_unda]

Okay, I apologize if this is in the wrong location, but someone once told me of a book and I figured this was the "best" place to post an inquiry as it covers many fields.

Supposedly there exists a book, an older one if I'm not mistaken, that relates the concepts of stress/strain, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and electrodynamics as forms of potential functions with different constants. Does anyone happen to know the name of this book? I would dearly love to find a copy, but know not the author, title, or if it even truly exists. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks for taking your time to glance at this post!

Are you looking for a maths book, a physics book or an engineering book?

Engineering Field Theory by A J Baden Fuller covers most of what you seek plus some other areas, but not the elastostatics.

Not sure what kind of a book it is. I was told it existed and I was very curious, as I love to see the interconnections.

Thanks for the find. I'm bummed that the elastostatics isn't involved, but it is definitely a step in the direction. Thanks for sharing!

You might also look at

Advanced Vector Analysis by C E Weatherburn

This covers all your areas including elastostatics, but the book is entitled vector analysis so potential theory is 'woven in'. Further it is an older book ( but " Still Good" like the Norman Rockwell adverts) so somewhat dated in content.

go well

I am not familiar with this specific book. However, I can suggest some general resources that may be helpful in your search for a book on potential flow. First, I would recommend checking online databases such as Google Scholar or ScienceDirect for any articles or books that discuss potential flow theory. Additionally, you may want to reach out to colleagues or professors in the fields of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and electrodynamics to see if they are familiar with this book or can recommend any related resources. Good luck in your search!
