Description

Fluid Dynamics presents a thorough, interconnected examination of fluid dynamics by combining the fundamental principles with systematic mathematical and computational approaches. The mathematical techniques necessary for understanding continuum phenomena in various coordinate systems are provided in a fully self-contained form. The text, in addition to laminar flow theory, also provides a solid foundation in turbulence modelings with detailed discussions on topics such as stability theory and the theory of isotropic turbulence. Fluid Dynamics is excellent for advanced students in aerospace, mechanical, and applied mathematics fields.

Table of Contents
