Advanced Engineering Fluid Mechanics

This volume examines the derivation of Navier-Stokes equations, exact solutions, potential theory, boundary-layer theory and compressible flow. It also looks briefly at hydrodynamic stability and compressible flow.

---

This volume contains major chapters on derivation of Navier-Stokes equations, exact solutions, potential theory, boundary-layer theory and turbulent flows. Shorter chapters on hydrodynamic stability and compressible flow are included. An introduction to numerical methods for boundary-layer equations and a review of experimental techniques are also covered. All chapters contain worked examples followed by a large collection of unsolved problems. New concepts are introduced systematically and the reader is led to analyze challenging applications. Taken together, the text and the problems are intended to enable engineers to take up quickly the analysis of practical problems.
