Fluid Mechanics-------jaico
Fluid mechanics is a branch of science
dealing with the study of flows of continua under the action of external
forces. It has a rich history and unchanging core of materials but is
constantly expanding and evolving as new methods, applications, and
computational tools are developed.
This new text/reference presents the basic concepts and methods of fluid
mechanics, including Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions, tensors of
stresses and strains, continuity, momentum, energy, thermodynamics laws,
and similarity theory. The models and their solutions are presented
within a new context of the mechanics of multiphase media. The treatment
fully utilizes the computer algebra and software system Mathematica to
both develop concepts and help the reader to master modern methods of
solving problems in fluid mechanics.
