Basic Fluid Mechanicsis an antidote for oversimplified textbooks. If you would like to break away from the large publishers' approach that many professors describe as "fluid mechanics for the masses," "excessive fluff" and "delaying the appearance of PDE's to Chapter 12," this may be the book you have been looking for!As with the first and second editions, this book rejects the modern, watered-down approach that (in at least one modern text) apologizes for the need to use concepts from freshman calculus and (in most cases) emphasizes everything but the basics of fluid motion. Written in an easy-to-read style that students have praised virtually everywhere the book has been used, there is no need to have artificial devices such as one-sentence descriptions on each page to help orient the reader. The worked examples have been integrated into the presentation in a format which insures that the basic concepts are easy to locate. That is, the major flaws of the book's major competitors, all of which are suitable for only a one-semester course, do not plague Basic Fluid Mechanics.Basic Fluid Mechanics is an exciting and innovative junior/senior level text that provides an introduction to the basic concepts of fluid mechanics. It has also been used as an introductory text for graduate students with no prior knowledge of fluid mechanics. The book recognizes the fact that the modern fluid dynamicist has three research tools at his or her disposal, namely, analytical methods, experimentation and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It makes full recognition of this triad of approaches that constitute today's unified theory of fluid mechanics..

Viscous flow crops up in many real-life situations such as aerodynamics and lubrication, and because of its universality it is a paradigm for the application of mathematics to the real world. This book is a coherent account of the ways in which mathematics can both give insight into viscous flow and suggest analogies and implications for other branches of applied mathematics. The authors place particular emphasis on the unification brought about by the use of asymptotic analysis and scaling properties and the use of everyday observations from the real world (especially industry) to illustrate the theory. The book is aimed at final-year undergraduate and beginning graduate students in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering courses on fluid flow..

This well-written book explains the theory of spectral methods and their application to the computation of viscous incompressible fluid flows in clear and elementary terms. It begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of spectral methods and then moves on to cover, in particular, the Fourier and Chebyshev methods. Examples are included. Chapters 6 and 7 handle streamfunction-vorticity and velocity-pressure fomulations of the Navier-Stokes equations. Chapter 8 and 9 address special topics such as self- adaptive coordinate transform, treatment of singularities, and domain decomposition. The work will be useful to those teaching in the field at the graduate level, as well as to researchers working in the area..

This text develops a mathematical and physical theory which takes a proper account of the elasticity of liquids This leads to systems of partial differential equations of composite type in which some variables are hyperbolic and others elliptic. It turns out that the vorticity is usually the key hyperbolic variable. The relevance of this type of mathematical structure for observed dynamics of viscoelastic motions is evaluated in detail. Much attention was paid to observations - most of which are not older than five years - following the attitude that experiments are the ultimate court of truth for physical theories. Readers will find their understanding of all problems involved highly enriched..

This book presents recent results concerning the global existence in time, the large-time behaviour, decays of solutions and the existence of global attractors for some nonlinear parabolic-hyperbolic coupled systems of evolutionary partial differential equations arising from physics, mechanics and material science, such as the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, thermo(visco)elastic systems and elastic systems. To keep the book as self-contained as possible, the first chapter introduces to the needed results and tools from functional analysis, Sobolev spaces, differential and integral inequalities in analysis, and the theory of semigroups of linear operators and of global attractors.

The book develops the most recent ideas and concepts of the mathematical theory of viscous, compressible and heat conducting fluids. Two main goals are pursued: (I) global existence theory within the framework of variational (weak) solutions for the full system of the Navier-Stokes equations supplemented with large data; and (II) optimal existence results for the barotropic flows with respect to the available a priori estimates. The book is intended to be a compact and self-contained presentation of the most recent results of the mathematical theory of viscous compressible fluids. In order to place the text in better perspective, each chapter is concluded with a section devoted to historical notes including references to all-important and new results. The material is by no means intended to be the last word on the subject but rather to include possible directions of future research. It is aimed at research mathematicians, theoretical physicists, engineers and graduate students..
