The book is an introduction to the subject of fluid mechanics, essential for students and researchers in many branches of science. It illustrates its fundamental principles with a variety of examples drawn mainly from astrophysics and geophysics as well as from everyday experience. Prior familiarity with basic thermodynamics and vector calculus is assumed.

The field of fluid mechanics is vast and has numerous and diverse applications. As such, it covers a wide range of topics including basic formulations and their computer modelling as well as the relationship between experimental and analytical results. The 13th International Conference on Advances in Fluid Mechanics, from which this volume originates, had an emphasis on new applications and research currently in progress. The papers included cover such topics as Boundary elements and other mesh reduction methods; Fluid structure interaction; Multiphase heat transfer; Environmental fluid dynamics; Energy harvesting; Nano and micro fluids; Complex flows; Jets; Droplet and spray dynamics; Bubble dynamics; Multiphase fluid flow; Pumping and fluid transportation; Complex and non-Newtonian fluids; Chemical reaction flow; Hydroelectromagnetic flow; hypersonic flows; Wave theory; Acoustics of noise propagation; Nanotechnology applications in fluids and heat transfer; Bluff body aerodynamics; Aerodynamic shape optimization.

Presenting an introduction to the fundamentals of turbulent flow, this book elucidates the most crucial and practically important aspects of the physics. With a focus on canonical flows of various kinds, the book also offers biographies of the 'subject giants' who have shaped the field, alongside practical exercises that allow teachers to construct a wide range of further practical studies for their students.

A Brochure to promote the activities o the Department of Professional Education and Research Development. MSOE seminars offer participants the opportunity to explore technological developments and current applications and techniques. The programs are designed to keep practicing engineers abreast of new developments and applications, and also to provide a basic understanding of the technology to new entrants into the field.

First published in 1883, Joseph John Thomson's fascinating treatise explores the subject of 'vortex rings'. A vortex ring, also known as 'a toroidal vortex', is a torus-shaped vortex existing within a fluid or gas where the fluid spins along an imaginary axis line that creates a closed loop. Sir Joseph John Thomson (1856 - 1940) was an English physicist and Nobel Laureate in Physics. He is most famous for having discovered and identified the electron, and discovering the first subatomic particle. He also proved that cathode rays were composed of electrons. In 1906, Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the study of the conduction of electricity in gases. Contents include: "Momentum Of A System Of Circular Vortex Rings", "Moment Of Momentum Of The System", "Kinetic Energy Of The System", "Expression For The Kinetic Energy Of A Number Of Circular Vortex", "Rings Moving Inside A Closed Vessel", "Theory Of The Single Vortex Ring", "Expression For The Velocity Parallel To The Axis", "Due To An Approximately", "Circular Vortex Ring", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the mathematics and physics behind the simulation of turbulent flows and discusses in detail (i) the phenomenology of turbulence in fluid dynamics, (ii) the role of direct and large-eddy simulation in predicting these dynamics, (iii) the multiple considerations underpinning subgrid modelling, and, (iv) the issue of validation and reliability resulting from interacting modelling and numerical errors.

Introduction to Hydraulics for Industry Professionals is a learning package for students or professionals who are looking to build their fluid power careers. The package includes a colored textbook, an interactive software-based tool to size hydraulic components, electronic files for the animated hydraulic circuits, and a colored workbook (separate price) that contains printed power point slides, chapter reviews and assignments. The book is the first in a series that the author plans to publish to offer complete and comprehensive teaching and design tools for the fluid power industry. This book is an attempt to fill the gap between the very academic style of fluid power books and the very commercial style of books that are produced by fluid power manufacturers. The book presents the equations in both the Metric and English systems of units. The book considers presenting real-life examples for Mobile and Industrial applications. The book goes above and beyond the fundamental level of fluid power. This book covers the construction and operating principles of the hydraulic components, using the right terminologies. Topics covered include: determination of proper specifications of hydraulic components, how to perform the required calculations to size a hydraulic component, how to read hydraulic schematic diagrams, how to predict pump efficiency under specific operating conditions, how to draw the power distribution for the duty cycle of a machine, how to investigate the losses in a hydraulic system, a presentation of different concepts for building hydraulic circuits, and much more. The textbook is produced in letter size (8.5 x 11) inches, weighs 3.5 lb, and contains a total of eight chapters. The workbook is produced in the same size and weighs 1 lb. The associated software is online downloadable.

Some sixty years after the experimental flights of the North American X-15 hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft, sustained hypervelocity travel is still the next frontier in high-speed transportation. Today, there is much excitement and interest regarding hypersonic vehicles. In fact, many aerospace agencies, large industries, and several start-ups are involved in design activities and experimental campaigns both in wind tunnels and in-flight with full-scale experimental flying test beds and prototypes to make hypersonic travel almost as easy and convenient as airliner travel. Achieving this goal will radically revolutionize the future of civil transportation. This book contains valuable contributions that focus on various design issues related to hypersonic aircraft.
