Turbulence: The Legacy of A. N. Kolmogorov
by: Uriel Frisch
Book Description
January 26, 1996 0521457130 978-0521457132
Written
five centuries after the first studies of Leonardo da Vinci and half a century
after A.N. Kolmogorov's first attempt to predict the properties of flow, this
textbook presents a modern account of turbulence, one of the greatest
challenges in physics. "Fully developed turbulence" is ubiquitous in
both cosmic and natural environments, in engineering applications and in
everyday life. Elementary presentations of dynamical systems ideas,
probabilistic methods (including the theory of large deviations) and fractal
geometry make this a self-contained textbook. This is the first book on
turbulence to use modern ideas from chaos and symmetry breaking. The book will
appeal to first-year graduate students in mathematics, physics, astrophysics,
geosciences and engineering, as well as professional scientists and engineers.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This
is a work of great scholarship....This book belongs in the library of any
college or university where physics is taught. It can productively be used as a
reference in advanced undergraduate courses or as a text for a one-semester
course on turbulence itself." Russell J. Donnelly, Physics Today

Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics
by: Ronald Darby
Book Description
January 11, 2001 0824704444 978-0824704445 2
Combining comprehensive
theoretical and empirical perspectives into a clearly organized text, Chemical
Engineering Fluid Mechanics, Second Edition discusses the principal
behavioral concepts of fluids and the basic methods of analysis for resolving a
variety of engineering situations. Drawing on the author's 35 years of
experience, the book covers real-world engineering problems and concerns of
performance, equipment operation, sizing, and selection from the viewpoint of a
process engineer. It supplies over 1500 end-of-chapter problems, examples,
equations, literature references, illustrations, and tables to reinforce
essential concepts.Editorial Reviews

Introduction to Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
by: Benoit Cushman-Roisin
This is the first and only introductory level text available on geophysical fluid dynamics. Emphasis is placed on physics, not mathematics and simple and complex laboratory demonstrations are featured in most chapters. Special contemporary topics, of climate dynamics and equatorial dynamics, including the greenhouse effect, global warming and southern oscillation are covered.

From the Publisher
This is the
first and only introductory-level text available on geophysical fluid dynamics.
From the Back Cover
This volume
provides an introductory-level exploration of geophysical fluid dynamics --
with a focus on the physics, not the mathematics. Explores special contemporary
topics of climate dynamics and equatorial dynamics -- e.g., the greenhouse
effect, global warming, El Niño, Southern oscillation; provides an appendix on
waves; includes short biographies of important scientists; and contains simple
and complex laboratory demonstrations. For students and researchers in
environmental fluid dynamics, and for practicing biologists, atmospheric
chemists and engineers.

An Introduction to Fire Dynamics
by: Dougal Drysdale
Book Description
February 2, 1999 0471972916 978-0471972914 2
An
Introduction to Fire Dynamics Second Edition Dougal Drysdale University of
Edinburgh, UK Fire Safety Engineering, identified in the original edition as 'a
relatively new discipline', has since grown significantly in stature, as Fire
Safety Engineers around the world begin to apply their skills to complex issues
that defy solution by the old 'prescriptive' approach to fire safety. This
second edition has the same structure as the first highly successful text, but
has been updated with the latest research results. Fire processes are discussed
and quantified in terms of the mechanisms of heat transfer and fluid flow.
Problems addressed include:
* The conditions necessary for ignition and steady burning of combustible materials to occur
* How large a fire has to become before fire detectors and sprinkler heads will operate
* The circumstances that can lead to flashover in a compartment
This book is unique in that it identifies fire science and fire dynamics and provides the scientific background necessary for the development of fire safety engineering as a professional discipline. It is essential reading for all those involved in this wide ranging field, from Fire Prevention Officers to Consulting Engineers, whether involved in problems of fire risk assessment, fire safety design, or fire investigation. It will also be of considerable interest and value to research scientists working in building design, fire physics and chemistry.

Physics of Rotating Fluids
by:
This book is devoted to recent developments in the field of rotating fluids, in particular the study of Taylor--Couette flow, spherical Couette flow, planar Couette flow, as well as rotating annulus flow. Besides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art, possible future directions in this research field are investigated. The first part of this volume presents several new results in the classical Taylor--Couette system covering diverse theoretical, experimental and numerical work on bifurcation theory, influence of boundary conditions, counter-rotating flows, spiral vortices and many others. The second part focuses on spherical Couette flows, including isothermal flows, thermal convective motion, as well as magnetohydrodynamics in spherical shells. The remaining parts are devoted to Goertler vortices, rotating annulus flows, as well as superfluid Couette flows. The present book will be of interest to all researchers and graduate students working actively in the field.

Fluid Dynamics for Physicists
by: T. E. Faber
Book Description
August 25, 1995 0521429692 978-0521429696 1st
This
textbook provides an accessible and comprehensive account of fluid dynamics
that emphasizes fundamental physical principles and stresses connections with
other branches of physics. Beginning with a basic introduction, the book goes
on to cover many topics not typically treated in texts, such as compressible
flow and shock waves, sound attenuation and bulk viscosity, solitary waves and
ship waves, thermal convection, instabilities, turbulence, and the behavior of
anisotropic, non-Newtonian and quantum fluids. Undergraduate or graduate
students in physics or engineering who are taking courses in fluid dynamics
will find this book invaluable.
