    Fluid dynamics : theoretical and computational approaches / Z.U.A. Warsi.

    By: Warsi, Z. U. AMaterial type: TextTextPublisher: Boca Raton : Taylor & Francis, 2006Edition: 3rd edDescription: 845 p. : ill. ; 27 cmISBN: 0849333970 (acid-free paper); 9780849333972 (acid-free paper)Subject(s): Fluid dynamicsDDC classification: 532/.05 LOC classification: QC151 | .W37 2006Online resources: Publisher description
    Contents:
    Kinematics of fluid motion -- The conservation laws and the kinetics of flow -- The Navier-Stokes equations -- Flow of inviscid fluids -- Inviscid incompressible flow -- Inviscid compressible flow -- Laminar viscous flow -- Exact solutions -- Boundary layers -- Navier-Stokes formulation -- Turbulent flow -- Stability theory and the statistical description of turbulence -- Development of averaged equations -- Basic empirical and boundary layer results in turbulence -- Turbulence modeling -- Mathematical exposition 1 : base vectors and various representations
    Review: "Many introductions to fluid dynamics offer an illustrative approach that demonstrates some aspects of fluid behavior, but often leave you without the tools necessary to confront new problems. For more than a decade, Fluid Dynamics: Theoretical and Computational Approaches has supplied these missing tools with a constructive approach that made the book a bestseller. Now in its third edition, it supplies even more computational skills in addition to a solid foundation in theory.".Summary: "After laying the groundwork in theoretical fluid dynamics, independent of any particular coordinate system in order to allow coordinate transformation of the equations, the author turns to the technique of writing Navier-Stokes and Fuler's equations, flow of inviscid fluids, laminar viscous flow, and turbulent flow. He also includes requisite mathematics in several "Mathematical Expositions" at the end of the book and provides abundant end-of-chapter problems."--BOOK JACKET.
