Physics of Liquid Matter

This book offers a didactic and a self-contained treatment of the physics of liquid and flowing matter with a statistical mechanics approach.

Experimental and theoretical methods that were developed to study fluids are now frequently applied to a number of more complex systems generically referred to as soft matter. As for simple liquids, also for complex fluids it is important to understand how their macroscopic behavior is determined by the interactions between the component units. Moreo...
