Publisher's Synopsis

This book provides professionals in the field of fluid dynamics with a comprehensive guide and resource. The book balances three traditional areas of fluid mechanics - theoretical, computational, and experimental - and expounds on basic science and engineering techniques.
Each chapter introduces a topic, discusses the primary issues related to this subject, outlines approaches taken by experts, and supplies references for further information.
Topics discussed include:

  • basic engineering fluid dynamics
  • classical fluid dynamics
  • turbulence modeling
  • reacting flows
  • multiphase flows
  • flow and porous media
  • high Reynolds number asymptotic theories
  • finite difference method
  • finite volume method
  • finite element method
  • spectral element methods for incompressible flows
  • experimental methods, such as hot-wire anemometry, laser-Doppler velocimetry, and flow visualization
  • applications, such as axial-flow compressor and fan aerodynamics, turbomachinery, airfoils and wings, atmospheric flows, and mesoscale oceanic flows
    The text enables experts in particular areas to become familiar with useful information from outside their specialization, providing a broad reference for the significant areas within fluid dynamics.
