This book is an update and extension of the classic textbook by Ludwig Prandtl, Essentials of Fluid Mechanics. It is based on the 10th German edition with additional material included. Chapters on wing aerodynamics, heat transfer, and layered flows have been revised and extended, and there are new chapters on fluid mechanical instabilities and biomedical fluid mechanics. References to the literature have been kept to a minimum, and the extensive historical citations may be found by referring to previous editions. This book is aimed at science and engineering students who wish to attain an overview of the various branches of fluid mechanics. It will also be useful as a reference for researchers working in the field of fluid mechanics.
A new edition of the almost legendary textbook by Schlichting completely revised by Klaus Gersten is now available. This book presents a comprehensive overview of boundary-layer theory and its application to all areas of fluid mechanics, with emphasis on the flow past bodies (e.g. aircraft aerodynamics). It contains the latest knowledge of the subject based on a thorough review of the literature over the past 15 years. Yet again, it will be an indispensable source of inexhaustible information for students of fluid mechanics and engineers alike.
The properties and effects of flows are important in many areas of science and engineering - their prediction can be achieved through analytical, experimental and computational fluid mechanics. In this essential, Karim Ghaib introduces computational fluid dynamics. After an overview of mathematical principles, the author formulates the conservation equations of fluid mechanics and explains turbulence models. He describes the most important numerical methods and then gives types and evaluation criteria of computational meshes. This essential book is thus recommended to both the beginner and the user in the field of computational fluid dynamics.
Singular perturbations occur when a small coefficient affects the highest order derivatives in a system of partial differential equations. From the physical point of view singular perturbations generate in the system under consideration thin layers located often but not always at the boundary of the domains that are called boundary layers or internal layers if the layer is located inside the domain. Important physical phenomena occur in boundary layers. The most common boundary layers appear in fluid mechanics, e.g., the flow of air around an airfoil or a whole airplane, or the flow of air around a car. Also in many instances in geophysical fluid mechanics, like the interface of air and eart...

Aufgrund der strengen Schadstoffemissionsrestriktionen zukünftiger Triebwerksgenerationen bedarf es der Entwicklung innovativer und effizienter Triebwerkskonzepte. Eine Optimierung des Zerstäubersystems ist in diesem Zusammenhang unerlässlich. Daher ist es wünschenswert, die Kraftstoffaufbereitung in der Brennkammer unter Verwendung von Airblast-Zerstäubern und insbesondere den bisher noch nicht mit ausreichender Genauigkeit modellierbaren Primärzerfall, in Zukunft numerisch vorhersagen zu können. Im vorliegenden Forschungsbericht wird systematisch untersucht, ob und inwiefern die gitterfreie Lagrange'sche Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Methode in diesem Kontext anwendbar ist. Hat der SPH Ansatz das Potential, den Primärzerfall in technisch relevanten Systemen exakt beschreiben zu können? Können die charakteristischen Effekte, die während des Primärzerfalls von Bedeutung sind, korrekt vorhergesagt werden? Welche Modelle sind dafür einsetzbar oder müssen in geeigneter Weise modifiziert werden? Der zentrale Teil dieses Forschungsberichts beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung und der umfassenden Validierung des auf der SPH Methode basierenden Strömungslösers.
The dynamical projectors method proves to reduce a multicomponent problem to the simplest one-component problem with its solution determined by specific initial or boundary conditions. Its universality and application in many different physical problems make it particularly useful in hydrodynamics, electrodynamics, plasma physics, and boundary layer problems. A great variety of underlying mechanisms are included making this book useful for those working in wave theory, hydrodynamics, electromagnetism, and applications. "The authors developed a universal and elegant tool – dynamical projector method. Using this method for very complicated hydro-thermodynamic and electrodynamics problem sett...
