Engineering: Mechanics of fluids

This book is primarily for a first one-semester course on CFD; in mechanical, chemical, and aeronautical engineering.

This book bridges the gap between the theoretical work of the rheologist, and the practical needs of those who have to design and operate the systems in which these materials are handled or processed.

After spending over 12 years developing new microsystems for biotechnology u especially concerned with the microfluidic aspects of these devices u Jean Berthier is considered a leading authority in the field.

This book discusses the fundamental principles and equations governing the motion of incompressible Newtonian fluids, and simultaneously introduces analytical and numerical methods for solving a broad range of pertinent problems.

Some of the most original and productive research specialists in the field of particle-fluid flow systems are assembled in this book, which is an important and current reference volume.

This book presents the physical principles of wave propagation in fluid mechanics and hydraulics.
