This distinctive text presents the basic principles of fluid mechanics by means of one-dimensional flow examples - differing significantly in style and content from other books.
A Primer in Fluid Mechanics contains:
- an overview of fluid properties and the kinetic theory of gases
- information on the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics, including historical references and background information
- introductory discussions on fluid properties and fluid statics
- a comprehensive chapter on compressible flow
- a variety of applications on non-steady flow, including non-steady gas dynamics
- a brief introduction to acoustics
Novel provisos in the text include
- an analysis of the static stability of a floating two-dimensional parabolic section
- viscous flow through an elastic duct
- several geometries in non-steady tank draining, including a singular perturbation problem
Chapters also discuss physical properties, atmospheric stability, thermodynamics, energy and momentum equations, dimensional analysis, and historical perspectives of flows in pipes and conduits.
A Primer in Fluid Mechanics offers a rigorous text for the curious student and for the research engineer seeking a readily available guide to the more refined treatments in the literature - supporting classical and current discussions as well as theoretical and practical concepts.
