Fluid Mechanics

<p><em>Fluid Mechanics: An Intermediate Approach </em>helps readers develop a physics-based understanding of complex flows and mathematically model them with accurate boundary conditions for numerical predictions.</p><p>The new edition starts with a chapter reviewing key undergraduate concepts in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics introducing the generalized conservation equation for differential and integral analyses. It concludes with a self-study chapter on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of turbulent flows including physics-based postprocessing of 3D CFD results and entropy map generation for accurate interpretation and design applications. This book includes numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems for student practice. It also discusses how to numerically model compressible flow over all Mach numbers in a variable-area duct accounting for friction heat transfer rotation internal choking and normal shock formation.</p><p>This book is intended for graduate mechanical and aerospace engineering students taking courses in fluid mechanics and gas dynamics.</p><p>Instructors will be able to utilize a solutions manual for their course.</p>
