DESCRIPTION:
W Boudville said Navier-Stokes rules!. The theoretical underpinning of this book is essentially the Navier-Stokes Equation. A non-linear integro-differential equation. You can spend hours with the book, enjoying the intricacies of the various special cases, that together form fluid mechanics.The advent of ever-faster computers, with massive memories, has also increased the practicality of a subfield - computational fluid mechanics. We can now realistically simulate many problems in three dimensions, with boundaries that are not just simple geometries, like a sphere or a half plane. Appropriately, the book
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics is a vital repository of essential information on this crucial subject. Whether used as a refresher or for first-time learning, Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics is an important new asset for engineers and students in many different disciplines.. With answers for the practicing engineer and real-world insights for the student, it includes applications from the mechanical, civil, aerospace, chemical, and other fields. It brings together the contributions of recognized experts from around the world to cover all of the concepts of classical fluid mechanics-from the basic properties of liquids through thermodynamics, flow theory, and gas dynamics. Basic fluid dynamic theory and applications in a single, authoritative reference The growing capabilities of computational fluid dynamics and the development of laser velocimeters and other new instrumentation have made a thorough understanding of classic fluid theory and laws more critical today than ever before
