Fluid mechanics, the study of how fluids behave and interact under various forces and in various applied situations-whether in the liquid or gaseous state or both-is introduced and comprehensively covered in this widely adopted text. Fully revised and updated with the addition of a new chapter on biofluid mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Fourth Edition is suitable for both a first or second course in fluid mechanics at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level. The leading advanced general text on fluid mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, 4e guides students from the fundamentals to the analysis and application of fluid mechanics, including compressible flow and such diverse applications as hydraulics and aerodynamics.

Updates to several chapters and sections, including Boundary Layers, Turbulence, Geophysical Fluid Dynamics, Thermodynamics and Compressibility. Fully revised and updated chapter on Computational Fluid Dynamics. New chapter on Biofluid Mechanics by Professor Portonovo Ayyaswamy, the Asa Whitney Professor of Dynamical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania.New Visual Resources appendix provides a list of fluid mechanics films available for viewing online.Additional worked-out examples and end-of-chapter problems.Updated online Solutions Manual for adopting instructors.Summary: This is the BEST book for a 1st year grad studentRating: 5This is the best book for a grad student who wants to start learning the advanced topics in fluid mechanics. This is the best book to read after Munson and is much easier and much more useful than Batchelor. Most of the concepts are very nicely explained and there a lot of emphasis on understanding the physics of each phenomenon. There is an introductory part on continuum mechanics which is very helpful. There book is almost error free though a lot of equations are presented in the book.Summary: An excellent covering of Fluid Mechanics.Rating: 4I bought this book for a class in geophysical fluid dynamics. I have only a little background in fluid mechanics, but I have some experience with partial differential equations and tensor math (mostly electromagnetics). If you are light on tensor math and physics, this is NOT the book to start with. There are other books in tensor math you will need to read and work problems in first. PDEs are a prerequisite, too, so don't take this book lightly. There is a very good review of tensor math and PDEs in the first chapter and appendices, but you will probably need additional references. The problems are challenging, and they range from easy to quite difficult. The math in this book also has a tendency to be terse, but not too sparse (and the author doesn't use the typical math book cliches, 'left as an exercise' or 'proof is trivial'). The chapters cover quite a few topics, from basic fluid motion, Newtonian and Eulerian flow, and turbulence and Reynolds numbers, to a few advanced topics like blood flow in biological systems. This book would be excellent as a reference, since the chapters are well organized, generally thorough and up-to-date. I plan to keep it on my shelf next to my physics and electromagnetics handbooks when I finish my GFD course.Summary: PitifulRating: 1This book claims to be an introduction to fluids. If so, it is the worst introduction I have seen. While other books are trying to get the student to understand what viscosity is or how to calculate presure with depth in a fluid, this book is literally teaching Eigenvectors of a Symmetric Tensor. This book may have a place but it is not as an introductory text. If you want a good introductory text, buy Frank White's book.Summary: Very goodRating: 5The item is exactly arrived on time. I feel really good. You can trust this service.Summary: Excellent introductory graduate level text bookRating: 5This is an excellent introductory textbook for a first graduate course in fluid mechanics. The material is presented in a logical and cogent manner. The chapters on introduction to tensor algebra and on vorticity dynamics are particularly excellent. The book, through its easy language and right focus, provides a good physical insight into the wonderful, if sometimes arcane, world of fluid flows. This book would be a nice pre-requisite to studying other classical and more advanced textbooks like the one by Prof. Batchelor.

Fluid Mechanics - 2nd Edition

Author: Ira M. Cohen, Pijush K. Kundu | Size: 34.6 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Scanner+OCR | Publisher: Academic Press | Year: August 17, 2001 | pages: 730 | ISBN: 0121782514, ISBN-13: 978-0121782511

This is the most comprehensive introductory graduate or advanced undergraduate text in fluid mechanics available. It builds from the fundamentals, often in a very general way, to widespread applications to technology and geophysics. In most areas, an understanding of this book can be followed up by specialized monographs and the research literature.

The material added to this new edition will provide insights gathered over 45 years of studying fluid mechanics. Many of these insights, such as universal dimensionless similarity scaling for the laminar boundary layer equations, are available nowhere else. Likewise for the generalized vector field derivatives. Other material, such as the generalized stream function treatment, shows how stream functions may be used in three-dimensional flows. The CFD chapter enables computations of some simple flows and provides entrée to more advanced literature.

FLUID MECHANICS - Fifth Edition >> By Pijush K. Kundu (Author), Ira M. Cohen (Author), David R Dowling Ph.D. Aeronautics California Institute of Technology (Author)

Author: Pijush K. Kundu (Author), Ira M. Cohen (Author), David R Dowling Ph.D. Aeronautics California Institute of Technology (Author) | Size: 26.57 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: Academic Press; 5 edition | Year: September 22, 2011 | pages: 919 | ISBN: ISBN-10: 0123821002 ISBN-13: 978-0123821003

Fluid mechanics, the study of how fluids behave and interact under various forces and in various applied situations-whether in the liquid or gaseous state or both-is introduced and comprehensively covered in this widely adopted text. Revised and updated by Dr. David Dowling, Fluid Mechanics, Fifth Edition is suitable for both a first or second course in fluid mechanics at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level. The leading advanced general text on fluid mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, 5e includes a free copy of the DVD "Multimedia Fluid Mechanics," second edition. With the inclusion of the DVD, students can gain additional insight about fluid flows through nearly 1,000 fluids video clips, can conduct flow simulations in any of more than 20 virtual labs and simulations, and can view dozens of other new interactive demonstrations and animations, thereby enhancing their fluid mechanics learning experience.

Text has been reorganized to provide a better flow from topic to topic and to consolidate portions that belong together.

Changes made to the book's pedagogy accommodate the needs of students who have completed minimal prior study of fluid mechanics.

More than 200 new or revised end-of-chapter problems illustrate fluid mechanical principles and draw on phenomena that can be observed in everyday life.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Direct-write technologies, the latest advance in fabricating electronic and sensor devices and power sources, refer to techniques/processes capable of depositing, dispensing, or processing diverse types of materials (including biological) over surfaces following a preset pattern/layout. The editors, with the Materials Science and Technology Division at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, introduce these commercially valuable methods for generating high-quality patterns capable of producing working prototypes so rapidly that they represent a paradigm shift. The 18 contributed chapters cover applications; materials for implementing applications; dispensing type approaches to direct writing (e.g., ink jet technology, dip-pen nanolithography); comparison with other approaches to pattern and material transfer; and current and future trends. Includes illustrations, appended material on ancillary technologies, and 265 references.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
