Fluid Dynamics: Theoretical and Computational Approaches, Second Edition 2nd Edition by Z.U.A. Warsi (PDF)

Description

Fluid Dynamics presents the basic development of equations in coordinate-invariant form and their use in solving problems in laminar and turbulent flows. This book presents a thorough examination of fluid dynamics by combining fundamental principles with systematic mathematical, and computational approaches. Chapters 1 and 2 provide the requisites of theoretical fluid dynamics – free from any coordinate system and covering all basic equations.Chapter 3 examines the Navier-Stokes equations and Euler’s equations in steady and non-steady curvilinear coordinates. It also discusses the essential aspects of vorticity and stream functions.Chapter 4 describes inviscid incompressible and compressible flows, supplementing the treatment of the boundary layer theory.Chapter 5 treats the exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, classical and modern boundary layer theory, and incompressible and compressible forms of the Navier-Stokes formulations. It also discusses the hyperbolic system of partial differential equations and introduces the idea of characteristics through solutions of the Burger’s and related equations.In Fluid Dynamics, the author also:Describes how to transform the complete Navier-Stokes system of equations to general steady and non-steady coordinatesCovers the method of vector and tensor analysisExplores laminar flow theoryProvides a systematic approach to turbulence theory, starting with an introduction to the linear stability theoryExplains the theory of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence as well as the turbulent boundary layersLays a solid foundation for the theory of turbulence modeling for incompressible and compressible flowsEmphasizes learning the techniques for using the derived results in solving physical flow problems on high-speed computersDiscusses various numerical techniques for solving boundary layer and Navier-Stokes equationsDemonstrates the existence of characteristics in the solution of hyberbolic system of equations through a series of simple examplesFluid Dynamics enables students and professionals to grasp and assimilate a constructive framework for modern fluid dynamics, providing a set of algorithmic tools to create useful physical and computational results.

⭐It was as described. Very good condition

⭐This is one text I will keep and refer to often. Outstanding for work on my PhD in Chemical Engineering.

⭐This is a fantastic fluid dynamics book! It is clearly written and easy to follow. The chapter exercises are very useful. Chapters include kinematics of fluid motion, conservation laws and kinematics of flows, Navier-Stokes equations, inviscid flows, laminar viscous flow, and turbulent flow. (The chapter on turbulent flow is excellent, balancing the right amount of theory and modeling.)The book also includes chapters on important mathematical concepts such as base vectors and representations, Gauss, Green, and Stokes theorems, geometry of space and plane curves, coordinate transformations, potential theory, singularities of the first order ODEs, geometry of surfaces, finite difference applied to PDSs, and frame invariancy.This is an excellent book that would be an excellent choice for advanced-undergraduate and graduate study.

⭐I bought this book about a week ago and I’m very excited of having it, but it’s hard for me to read this book at my current level. After briefly going through the pages, I think this book will be very helpfull to me in a year, or so.. If you’re an undegraduate student and taking your 1st or 2nd course in “Fluid Dynamics”, a better choice for you would be “Fundamentals of AERODYNAMICS” by Anderson – it will help you to start in “Fluids” easier than with this text, and it’s more “student-oriented”. However, if you’re a graduate student (and by “graduate” I mean “just about to graduate” – don’t wait – it seems to be a very serious text.

⭐This book is a very comprehensive one. It treats Incompressible flows, laminar and turbulent ones. It will guide you through the derivation of NS equation, boundary layer equation, and it will give you an introduction to turbulence. The book is complete in the sense that it deeply describes every aspect of the subject, but it does it ONLY from the MATHEMATHICAL point of view. No physics, no pictures (almost). It isn’t ABSOLUTELY an introductory book: the level of mathematics is pretty high.
