Turbulent Flow (Hardcover)

-Presents a detailed exposition of the various dimensions of turbulent flow.
-Extremely useful for practicing engineers in the field of hydraulic analysis and design building aerodynamics and environmental engineering.
-An authoritative reference source for graduate and senior undergraduate students.

This book gives the basic analytical framework for the description of turbulent flows and discusses various types encountered by engineers involved in hydraulic analysis and design. It also presents a detailed exposition of the various dimensions of turbulent flow.

The book would be extremely useful for practicing engineers, particularly in the field of hydraulic analysis and design, building dynamics and environmental engineering.
