Providing professionals in the field with a comprehensive guide and resource, this book balances three traditional areas of fluid mechanics - theoretical, computational, and experimental - and expounds on basic science and engineering techniques. Each chapter discusses the primary issues related to the topic in question, outlines expert approaches, and supplies references for further information.
A re-issue of Professor Batchelor's classic text on fluid dynamics, first published in 1967.
This text is designed to give a comprehensive and coherent description of classical fluid dynamics which is suitable for an introductory undergraduate lecture course, and then progressing through more advanced material up to the level of modern research in the field. Topics includeed in this text are: A discussion of Continuum Hypothesis, which is followed by an introduction to macroscopic functions, the velocity vector, pressure, density, and enthalpy ; Properties of a number of flows that are presented by the so-called exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, including the Couette flow between two parallel plates, Hagen-Poiseuille flow through a pipe, and Karman flow above an infinite rotating disk ; Inviscid incompressible flow theory, with particular focus on two-dimensional potential flows ; Compressible flows of perfect gas, including supersonic flows.
Physical Fluid Dynamics is a textbook for students of physics that reflects the origins and the future development of fluid dynamics. This book forms a concise and logically developed course in contemporary Newtonian fluid dynamics, suitable for physics and engineering science students. The text is composed of chapters devoted to the discussion of the physical properties of fluids, vortex dynamics, slow viscous flow, and particulate fluid dynamics. An adequate course in the dynamics of real (viscous) fluids, kinematics, equations of motion, boundary-layer theory, and compressible flow is also given. The textbook is intended for junior or senior undergraduate level students of physics and engineering.
A practical approach to the study of fluid mechanics at the graduate level.
First published in 1967, Professor Batchelor's classic text on fluid dynamics is still one of the foremost texts in the subject. The careful presentation of the underlying theories of fluids is still timely and applicable, even in these days of almost limitless computer power. This re-issue should ensure that a new generation of graduate students see the elegance of Professor Batchelor's presentation.
Paperback edition of text on fluid dynamics for graduate students and specialists alike.
For Honours, Post Graduate and M.Phil Students of All Indian Universities, Engineering Students and Various Competitive Examinations
This 2006 book provides a detailed and comprehensive analytical development of the Lagrangian formulation of fluid dynamics.
The notion of the boundary layer was introduced to describe thin viscous layers that form on a rigid body surface in otherwise inviscid flow of a fluid with small viscosity. The book begins with the classical theory of the boundary-layer flows. However, its focus is on recent results of the theory invaluable in describing fluid-dynamics phenomena.
