Although some account is given to reliability analysis, the present treatment has to be supplemented with methods for detailed stress evaluation and for structural...

Fluid dynamics is the engineering science dealing with forces and energies generated by fluids in motion. Fluid dynamics and hydrodynamics play a vital role in everyday life. Practical examples include the flow motion in the kitchen sink, the exhaust fan above the stove, and the air conditioning system in our home. When driving a car, the air flow around the vehicle body induces some drag which increases with the square of the car speed and contributes to excess fuel consumption. Engineering applications encompass fluid transport in pipes and canals, energy generation, environmental...

Accessible to advanced undergraduate students, Physical Oceanography: A Mathematical Introduction with MATLAB^(r) demonstrates how to use the basic tenets of multivariate calculus to derive the governing equations of fluid dynamics in a rotating frame. It also explains how to use linear algebra and partial differential equations (PDEs) to solve basic initial-boundary value problems that have become the hallmark of physical oceanography. The book makes the most of MATLAB s matrix algebraic functions, differential equation solvers, and visualization...

A complete revision of the first edition this book. The author has added a chapter on turbulence, and has expanded the work on paradoxes and modeling. W.M. Elsasser said of the first edition, "A book such as this, concentrating as it does on the boundaries of fundamental progress, should be indispensable to all those engaged in hydrodynamical research who are concerned with the type of generalization that so often in the past has led to fundamental progress."

Originally published in 1960.

Auf Basis von Beispielen aus den verschiedensten Gebieten der Physik fuhrt dieses Lehrbuch in die Computerphysik mit Fortran und Matlab ein. Ausgehend von grundlegenden Problemstellungen aus der klassischen Mechanik werden (chaotische) dynamische Systeme untersucht. Feldtheorien wie Quantenmechanik, irreversible Thermodynamik und Hydrodynamik bis hin zur selbstorganisierten makroskopischen Strukturbildung bilden den zweiten Schwerpunkt des Buches. Ein Kapitel uber Monte-Carlo-Methoden und deren Anwendung in der statistischen Physik schliet die bunte Palette physikalischer Themen ab.
