Fluid mechanics : Foundation and applications of mechanics (Vol. 2)
By: Jog, C.S.
Series: Cambridge - IISc series. Publisher: New Delhi Cambridge University Press 2015Edition: 3rd.Description: xx, 570p. | Binding - Paperback | 24*18 cm.ISBN: 9781108436038.Subject(s): Civil EngineeringDDC classification: 620.106 Summary: Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids including liquids, gases and plasmas and the forces acting on them. Its study is critical in predicting rainfall, ocean currents, reducing drag on cars and airplanes, and design of engines. The subject is also interesting from a mathematical perspective due to the nonlinear nature of its equations. For example, the topic of turbulence has been a topic of interest to both mathematicians and engineers: to the former because of its mathematically complex nature and to the latter group because of its ubiquitous presence in real-life applications. This book is a follow-up to the first volume and discusses the concepts of fluid mechanics in detail. The book gives an in-depth summary of the governing equations and their engineering related applications. The book comprehensively discusses fundamental theories related to kinematics and governing equations, hydrostatics, surface waves and ideal fluid flow, followed by their applications.Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
