Fundamentals of Fluid Flow

Engineering processes of fluid flow can be traced from physics to application, through computational and measurement techniques. Fundamentals of fluid flow covers general topics in fluid dynamics, and addresses a number of key topics which have arisen in recent years, such as the validity of the Boussinesq Hypothesis, and the generality of logarithmic law in wall bounded flows. Opening chapters provide an introduction to fluid mechanics, with an investigation of Eulerian and Lagrangian frames of reference. Later chapters examine Newtonian and non-Newtonian, compressible and incompressible, viscous and inviscid, and multiphase flow, before following chapters provide an overview of physics of transitional and turbulent flows, numerical methods for solving fluid flow problems, and experimental methods and measurement techniques in fluid mechanics.
