Solving problems in fluid dynamics

Solving Problems in Fluid Dynamics is the latest in the popular Solving Problems Series. It provides final-year undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students with clear explanations of the theory and application of fluid dynamics. The material is presented as solutions to typical examination and assignment type questions. Each chapter comprises a summary of basic theory, a selection of worked examples and a selection of problems, with answers, to encourage further practice and consolidate understanding. Coverage includes isentropic flow; non-isentropic flow; shock waves; hydrodynamics; viscous flow; boundary layer; non-Newtonian fluids; particle dynamics; turbulence and mixing; flow over aerofoils; and propellers, fans and windmills. The study of fluid dynamics forms an essential part of many engineering courses and plays an integral part of applying theory to practice. The material incorporated into this text is suitable for use by advanced undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students.
