Statistical Physics of Fluids: Basic Concepts and Applications

This book grew out of the senior level lecture course I teach at Delft University and which I have taught in recent years at Eindhoven University and the University of Utrecht. Numerous discussions with students and colleagues led me to the conclusion that in spite of the existence of excellent books on the statistical theory of fluids, there is a gap between the fundamental theory and application of its concepts and techniques to practical problems. This book is an attempt to at least part...
