Paradkar, Shashikumar M. Chitre1st ed. 2022.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2022.1 online resource (284 pages)Print version: Jain, Sudhir Ranjan A Primer on Fluid Mechanics with Applications Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031204869 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Fluid Equations from Kinetic Theory -- Vorticity -- Potential Flows in Two Dimensions -- Viscous Flow -- Low Reynolds Number Flows -- Physiological Hydrodynamics -- Water Waves -- Magnetohydrodynamics -- Tensor Virial Theorem and Applications -- Stability Problems in Hydrodynamics and Hydromagnetics -- Shock Waves -- Astrophysical Fluid Mechanics -- An Introduction to Classical Turbulence -- Superfluid Hydrodynamics and Quantum Turbulence.This textbook is a pedagogic introduction to a number of phenomena employing fluid mechanics. Beginning with basic concepts and conservation laws for neutral and charged fluids, the authors apply and develop them to understand aerodynamics, locomotion of micro-organisms, waves in air and water, shock waves, hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic instabilities, stars and black holes, blood flow in humans, and superfluids. The approach is to consider various striking topics on fluid mechanics, without losing necessary mathematical rigor. The book balances the qualitative explanations with formal treatment, in a compact manner. A special focus is given to the important and difficult subject of turbulence and the book ends with a discussion on turbulence in quantum fluids. The textbook is dotted by a number of illustrative examples, mostly from real life, and exercises. The textbook is designed for a one semester course and addresses students at undergraduate and graduate level in physics or engineering, who want to research in the fields as diverse as aeronautics, meteorology, cosmology, biomechanics, and mathematical physics. It is requested knowledge of an undergraduate level course on mathematical methods to better understand the topics presented here.MechanicsFluid mechanicsAstrophysicsSoft condensed matterMedical physicsClassical MechanicsEngineering Fluid DynamicsAstrophysicsFluidsMedical PhysicsMechanics.Fluid mechanics.Astrophysics.Soft condensed matter.Medical physics.Classical Mechanics.Engineering Fluid Dynamics.Astrophysics.Fluids.Medical Physics.523.01620.106Jain Sudhir Ranjan1273926MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910637709803321A primer on fluid mechanics with applications3088864UNINA
