Material type: TextPublication details: Singapore: World Scientific Publishing, 2024. Description: xv, 386pISBN: 9781944659929Subject(s): FLUID MECHANICS | CONTINUUM MECHANICSDDC classification: 532 Summary: This textbook describes the fundamental "physical" aspects of fluid flows for beginners of fluid mechanics in physics, mathematics and engineering, from the point of view of modern physics. It also emphasizes the dynamical aspects of fluid motions rather than the static aspects, illustrating vortex motions, waves, geophysical flows, chaos and turbulence. Beginning with the fundamental concepts of the nature of flows and the properties of fluids, the book presents fundamental conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy, and the equations of motion for both inviscid and viscous fluids.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
