Applied fluid mechanics

This comprehensive volume enables readers to develop an understanding of the principles of fluid mechanics and to utilize problem-solving approaches for handling, transferring, and processing fluids.

Applied Fluid Mechanics emphasizes microscopic differential transport and lubrication type flows, which are essential in the emerging area of materials processing; covers hydrostatistics and capillarity, piping and hydraulics problems, meteorology and air pollution, materials processing, flows, thin film and coating flows, lubrication and stretching flows, and turbulent flows and mixing; presents step-by-step instruction reasoning and examples, providing a systematic approach to solving both macroscopic and microscopic problems; and offers convenient dual approaches to flow analysis, by control volume and by the Navier-Stokes equations.
