This book includes six chapters covering new vortex theories, vortex identification methods, and vortex simulation and applications. Vortices are ubiquitous in the universe and include tornados, hurricanes, airplane tip vortices, polar vortices, and even star vortices in the galaxy. Vortices are also building blocks, muscles, and sinews of turbulent flows. This book is useful for researchers in hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, oceanography, meteorology, metallurgy, civil engineering, astronomy, biology, and more. It is also useful for research on the generation, sustenance, modeling, and controlling of turbulence.

"Fluid Dynamics" is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of fluid dynamics in engineering and environmental science. It covers topics such as fluid statics, kinematics, conservation laws, boundary layer theory, pipe flow, open channel flow, and more. Packed with case studies, experimental techniques, and future directions, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the fascinating world of fluid dynamics.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a powerful tool that enables engineers and scientists to simulate fluid flows in a variety of applications, including thermal engineering, biomedical engineering, and environmental modeling. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to CFD, encompassing fundamental theory, mathematical and numerical techniques, and practical applications. The book begins by systematically introducing the basic concepts and terminology of CFD, such as the continuity equation, Navier-Stokes equations, energy equation, source/sink terms, and types of grids. The mathematical and numerical methods utilized to solve the CFD governing equations, including the finite difference method and the finite volume method, are then described in a beginner-friendly manner, accompanied by vivid and straightforward graphical illustrations. In addition to covering the foundation of CFD theory, the book presents several practical applications of CFD in diverse fields such as biomedical modeling, renewable energy, and thermal engineering. To extract useful information, the simulated CFD results need to be analyzed and visualized. Therefore, the book demonstrates common post-processing and visualization techniques, such as contour plots, streamlines, vectors, and charts. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to CFD, encompassing the essential theory, methods, and applications, making it an ideal choice as a textbook for graduate and post-graduate students or a reference for researchers and engineers working on CFD simulations.

Written by experts from around the world, this book presents a comprehensive overview of slurry technology. The editor is grounded in the science of dilute concentrations of coarse particles in horizontal ducts, including settling distributions, critical deposition, swirling flow, and the two-layer model. This volume includes ten chapters that address such topics as process modelling, measurement (including non-Newtonian rheology), high-concentration conveying, vertical transport of fine-particle slurries, rheometry of sludges, pipe wear, and wastewater applications. There is also a chapter on an application at the fringe of our subject: fluidisation.
