Fluid Mechanics

By: Spurk, H.Joseph [author.].
Contributor(s): Aksel, Nuri [author.] | SpringerLink (Online service).
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2008.Edition: 2.Description: X, 531 p. online resource.Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9783540735373.Subject(s): Engineering | Mechanics | Mechanics, Applied | Fluid mechanics | Power electronics | Engineering | Theoretical and Applied Mechanics | Power Electronics, Electrical Machines and Networks | Engineering Fluid DynamicsDDC classification: 620.1 Online resources: Click here to access online
Contents:
The Concept of the Continuum and Kinematics -- Fundamental Laws of Continuum Mechanics -- Constitutive Relations for Fluids -- Equations of Motion for Particular Fluids -- Hydrostatics. -- Laminar Unidirectional Flows -- Fundamentals of Turbulent Flow -- Hydrodynamic Lubrication -- Stream Filament Theory -- Potential Flows -- Supersonic Flow -- Boundary Layer Theory -- Creeping Flows.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: This successful textbook emphasizes the unified nature of all the disciplines of Fluid Mechanics as they emerge from the general principles of continuum mechanics. The different branches of Fluid Mechanics, always originating from simplifying assumptions, are developed according to the basic rule: from the general to the specific. The first part of the book contains a concise but readable introduction into kinematics and the formulation of the laws of mechanics and thermodynamics. The second part consists of the methodical application of these principles to technology. This book is offered to engineers, physicists and applied mathematicians; it can be used for self study, as well as in conjunction with a lecture course. This second English version is the translation of the very successful seventh German book, significantly expanded by a new chapter about creeping flows. In addition, sections about thin-film flow and flow through porous media are added and thus the book gives a complex introduction to the wide area of fluid mechanics.
