About this title

Synopsis

With applications ranging from modelling the environment to automotive design and physiology to astrophysics, conventional textbooks cannot hope to give students much information on what topics in fluid dynamics are currently being researched, or how to choose between them. This book rectifies matters. It consists of eleven chapters that introduce and review different branches of the subject for graduate-level courses, or for specialists seeking introductions to other areas. Hb ISBN (2001): 0-521-78061-6

Book Description

Now available in paperback the well received text on fluid mechanics, a subject with applications ranging from modelling the environment, to automotive design, to physiology, to astrophysics. Conventional textbooks cannot hope to give graduate students more than an inkling of what topics are currently being researched, or how to make a choice between them. This book aims partly to rectify matters. It consists of eleven chapters that introduce and review different branches of the subject, making it suitable for graduate-level courses, or for specialists seeking introductions to other areas.
