Fundamental mechanics of fluids (Q2904681)

This book is an introductory text that focuses on the basics of fluid mechanics, before concentrating on specialized areas such as ideal fluid flows and boundary layer theory. It contains five self-contained sections: governing equations; ideal fluid flows; viscous incompressible flows; compressible flows of inviscid fluids; methods of mathematical analysis.NEWLINENEWLINE The book provides techniques for solving specific fluid flow problems. The author illustrates the process of finding solutions of the governing equations, considering the mathematical methodology and physical phenomena involved in each flow situation.NEWLINENEWLINE See the review of the 1st and 3rd ed., respectively [Düsseldorf etc.: McGraw-Hill Book Company (1974; Zbl 0353.76002); Mechanical Engineering 154.
