Description for Training Manual on Transport and Fluids (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Presents elementary models of transport in continuous media and a corresponding body of mathematical technique. This title includes physical topics such as convection and diffusion as the simplest models of transport; local conservation laws with sources as the general framework of continuum mechanics; and momentum and energy transport. Series: Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Num Pages: 269 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBW. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Weight in Grams: 656.
This book presents elementary models of transport in continuous media and a corresponding body of mathematical technique. Physical topics include convection and diffusion as the simplest models of transport; local conservation laws with sources as the general framework of continuum mechanics; ideal fluid as the simplest model of a medium with mass; momentum and energy transport; and finally, free surface waves, in particular, shallow water theory. There is a strong emphasis on dimensional analysis and scaling. Some topics, such as physical similarity and similarity solutions, are traditional. In addition, there are reductions based on scaling, such as incompressible flow as ... Read more
