Description
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.
Audience
Physics graduate and advances undergraduate students; also researchers in the field of statisical physics.
Contents
Ideal Fluids; Turbulence; Thermal conduction in fluids; Surface phenomena; Shock waves; Two-dimensional gas flow; Fluid dynamics of combustion; Dynamics of superfluids; Index.
