Fluid dynamics
By: Bernard, Peter S.
Publisher: Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2015Description: xii, 252p.ISBN: 9781107071575.Subject(s): Fluid dynamicsDDC classification: 532.05 | B456f Summary: This book presents a focused, readable account of the principal physical and mathematical ideas at the heart of fluid dynamics. Graduate students in engineering, applied math, and physics who are taking their first graduate course in fluids will find this book invaluable in providing the background in physics and mathematics necessary to pursue advanced study. The book includes a detailed derivation of the Navier-Stokes and energy equations, followed by many examples of their use in studying the dynamics of fluid flows. Modern tensor analysis is used to simplify the mathematical derivations, thus allowing a clearer view of the physics. Peter Bernard also covers the motivation behind many fundamental concepts such as Bernoulli's equation and the stream function. Many exercises are designed with a view toward using MATLAB or its equivalent to simplify and extend the analysis of fluid motion including developing flow simulations based on techniques described in the book.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
