Understanding Fundamental Physics

By Young J. Moon

0.0 (0 reviews)

Summary

Introduction to Fluid Dynamics offers a physics-based approach that bridges mathematical theory with real-world fluid behaviour. The book emphasises understanding the physics behind fluid dynamics concepts rather than solely focusing on problem-solving techniques. Topics include fluid forces, pressure in motion, conservation laws, viscous stresses, vortex dynamics, energy dissipation, and compressibility related to wave phenomena. Real-world examples and practice problems support the learning process.

Description

Introduction to Fluid Dynamics is a concise resource that presents a physics-based introduction to fluid dynamics, helping students bridge the gap between mathematical theory and real-world physical properties.

This book offers a unique physics-based approach to fluid dynamics. Instead of emphasizing specific problem-solving methodologies, Introduction to Fluid Dynamics explains and interprets the physics behind the theory. This approach helps mathematically-inclined students develop physical intuition while giving more physically-inclined students a better grasp of the underlying mathematics. Real-world examples and end-of-chapter practice problems are included to further enhance student understanding.

Written by a highly-qualified author and experienced educator, topics are covered in a progressive manner, enabling maximum reader comprehension from start to finish. Sample topics covered in the book include:

How forces originate in fluids
How to define pressure in a fluid in motion
How to apply conservation laws to deformable substances
How viscous stresses are related to strain rates
How centrifugal forces and viscosity play a role in curved motions and vortex dynamics
How vortices and centrifugal forces are related in external viscous flows
How energy is viscously dissipated in internal viscous flows
How compressibility is related to wave and wave speed

Students and instructors in advanced undergraduate or graduate fluid dynamics courses will find immense value in this concise yet comprehensive resource. It enables readers to easily understand complex fluid phenomena, regardless of the academic background they come from.
