Description for Fluid Mechanics: Volume 6
Paperback. Intended for undergraduate and graduate students of science and engineering, this book covers the area of fluid mechanics, starting from the fundamentals, and then moving to widespread applications, to technology and geophysics. It also contains discussions on the universal dimensions similarity scaling for the laminar boundary layer equations. Translator(s): Sykes, J.B.; Reid, W.H. Series: Course of Theoretical Physics S. Num Pages: 554 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PHDF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 171 x 31. Weight in Grams: 888.
This is the most comprehensive introductory graduate or advanced undergraduate text in fluid mechanics available. It builds up from the fundamentals, often in a general way, to widespread applications, to technology and geophysics. New to this second edition are discussions on the universal dimensions similarity scaling for the laminar boundary layer equations and on the generalized vector field derivatives. In addition, new material on the generalized streamfunction treatment shows how streamfunction may be used in three-dimensional flows. Finally, a new Computational Fluid Dynamics chapter enables compulations of some simple flows and provides entry to more advanced literature.
