Opis

This book closes the gap between standard undergraduate texts on fluid mechanics and monographical publications devoted to specific aspects of viscous fluid flows. Each chapter serves as an introduction to a special topic that will facilitate later application by readers in their research work.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"The book is written at the advanced level and it will be useful to somebody with a background in fluid dynamics looking for references or an introduction to a particular topic. The presentation is good ... ." (Dr. P. Moresco, Contemporary Physics Vol. 45 (6), 2004)

"This ambitious and on the whole successful book comprises ten main chapters ... . all readers will find something of value in the well-chosen examples of specific flows included in the book ... . The book can be recommended to advanced students and research workers interested in theoretical fluid dynamics." (Raymond Hide, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 526, 2005)

The purpose of Theory and Applications of Viscous Fluid Flows is to close the gap between standard undergraduate texts on fluid mechanics and monographical publications devoted to specific aspects of viscous fluid flows. After a general introduction, each chapter serves as an introduction to a special topic that will facilitate later application by readers in their research work. The book will benefit beginning graduate students and young researchers interested in a rational and systematic account of various theoretical and mathematical aspects of viscous fluid flow phenomena, as well as their modelling in relation to practical viscous and heat conducting problems. This volume complements, but is independent of, Zeytounian’s Theory and Applications of Nonviscous Fluid Flows.
