Analytical Fluid Dynamics

Analytical Fluid Dynamics answers the continuing need for fluid dynamic books that combine physical insight with careful development of the corresponding mathematics. The Second Edition of this popular text presents an expanded, updated treatment of inviscid and laminar viscous compressible flows from a theoretical viewpoint. It emphasizes basic assumptions, the physical aspects of flow, and the appropriate formulations of the governing equations for subsequent analytical treatment. Particularly noteworthy is a new, general treatment of forces and moments. The one-dimension flow chapter also discusses internal ballistics and the Riemann function method for solving hyperbolic equations. These two chapters, along with those dealing with thermodynamics, sweep, interference, imperfect gas glows, and several of the appendices are new to this edition.Emanuel, George is the author of 'Analytical Fluid Dynamics' with ISBN 9780849386879 and ISBN 084938687X.
