Fluid dynamics is a branch of fluid mechanics, which describes the flow of fluids including gases and liquids. It focuses on the study of movements of fluids, including the interactions that occur when two fluids are exposed to one another. There are many subfields of fluid dynamics such as hydrodynamics and aerodynamics. Fluid dynamics plays an important role in the study of ocean tides, plate tectonics, planet evolution, weather patterns and blood circulation. Wind turbines, air conditioning systems, rocket engines and oil pipelines are some of the significant technological uses of fluid dynamics. It also has several engineering applications such as refrigerators and air conditioners, hydraulic equipment, automobiles, hydroelectric power plants, nuclear power plants, and thermal power plants. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored engineering applications of fluid dynamics and the recent researches in this field. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary manner. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists, which will provide innovative insights into this field.

Fluid dynamics is an area of fluid mechanics that deals with the movement of liquids and gases. It has many applications in engineering as well as non-engineering domains such as identifying the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, modeling detonation of fission weapon, calculating moments and forces on aircraft, and predicting weather patterns. It provides a systematic structure and uses empirical and semi-empirical laws obtained from flow measurement for solving various practical problems. Some of the significant technological uses of fluid dynamics include oil pipelines, rocket engines, air conditioning systems, and wind turbines. Experimental fluid dynamics (EFD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques are widely used across various branches of engineering. This book provides comprehensive insights into the recent advances in the field of engineering fluid dynamics. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
