Theory And Problems Of Fluid Dynamics

Binding: paperback

Release Date: 01-12-2004

Details: The explanation of a broad spectrum of fluid mechanics topics and such specialized material as hypersonic flow and non-Newtonian fluids, makes this book valuable both as a study guide and reference for practitioners, for undergraduate and graduate students, and for those studying solo. Contains new information about solving the equations that are the foundation of fluid mechanics by computer. It provides excellent preparation for such fields as aeronautics, aerospace science, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering. About The Author: : William F. Hughes, Ph.D. , is professor of mechanical engineering at Carnegie-Mellon University. He was a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow at Cambridge University in England and a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Sydney in Australia. John A. Brighton, Ph.D. , is a dean of engineering at Pennsylvania State University and has taught at Purdue, Carnegie-Mellon, Michigan State, and Georgia Tech. Nicholas Winowich, Ph.D. , is an associate professor at the University of Tennesee, Knoxville, and a member of one of the foremost computational fluid dynamics research groups in the country.
