| Book Description | An in-depth presentation of analytical methods and physical foundations, Analytical Fluid Dynamics, Third Edition breaks down the "how" and "why" of fluid dynamics. While continuing to cover the most fundamental topics in fluid mechanics, this latest work emphasizes advanced analytical approaches to aid in the analytical process and corresponding physical interpretation. It also addresses the need for a more flexible mathematical language (utilizing vector and tensor analysis and transformation theory) to cover the growing complexity of fluid dynamics. Revised and updated, the text centers on shock-wave structure, shock-wave derivatives, and shock-produced vorticity; supersonic diffusers; thrust and lift from an asymmetric nozzle; and outlines operator methods and laminar boundary-layer theory. In addition, the discussion introduces pertinent assumptions, reasons for studying a particular topic, background discussion, illustrative examples, and numerous end-of-chapter problems. |
| Editorial Review | The author has formulated curved shock theory with vector notation. This is a new and useful approach that has led to new results and insights and independent verification of the complex algebraic results of earlier tensor methods, the theory is surrounded by careful and thorough treatment of assumptions and limitations. Problems at the end of the chapter are well-chosen to promote a deeper understanding. This is a must-read for anyone searching for an appreciation of curved shock wave theory." -Sannu Moelder, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada |
