DESCRIPTION:
Currie is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at University of Toronto, Canada. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde, a Master’s degree from the University of British Columbia, and Ph.D. fro
Currie’s book is unique in that it covers more topics than usual but the coverage is sufficiently concise to keep the book from becoming a giant one. It is a well-structured book and it provides the fundamental knowledge and materials to be of interest to engineers and researchers."Yitung Chen, University of Nevada Las Vegas, USA"The selection and coverage of the topics are very appropriate for a first graduate course in fluid mechanics. "There are many graduate-level books in fluid mechanics. In doing so, the students are not lost in the details and are kept engaged."Mohamed Gad-el-Hak, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, USA"This book is very systematically a
Viscous Flows of Incompressible Fluids discusses exact solutions, low-Reynolds-number approximations, boundary-layer theory, and buoyancy-driven flows. Compressible Flow of Inviscid Fluids addresses shockwaves as well as one- and multidimensional flows. The author illustrates the process of finding solutions to the governing equations. Filling that void for both students and professionals working in different branches of engineering, this versatile instructional resource comprises five flexible, self-contained sections:Governing Equations deals with the derivation of the basic conservation laws, flow kinematics, and some basic theorems of fluid mechanics. Fundamental Mechanics of Fluids, Fourth Edition addresses the need for an introductory text that focuses on the basics of fluid mechanicsbefore concentrating on specialized areas such as ideal-fluid flow and boundary-layer theory. This categorization enables a clear explanation of the different solution methods and the basis for the various physical consequences of fluid properties and flow characteristics. It provides techniques for solving specific types of fluid-flow problems, and it covers the derivation of the basic equations governing the laminar flow of Newtonian fluids, first assessing general situations and then shifting focus to more specific scenarios. Armed with this
Baxter Mullins Jr said Digital book defective, paper book very good.. Digital edition is defective with several equations missing key symbols making the digital book almost useless.. Five Stars Good. "Four Stars" according to Chaochao Z.. Everything is okay. The regret is that the book is broken.
