Why this book?
This book discusses the fundamental principles and equations governing the flow of incompressible Newtonian fluids, while simultaneously illustrating the use of numerical methods from computing solutions to a broad range of problems. Sample topics include the computation of stationary interfacial shapes, the derivation of exact solutions to the equation of motion, hydrodynamic stability, flow at low Reynolds numbers, vortex motion, boundary-integral methods for potential and Stokes flow, and finite-difference methods for Navier-Stokes flow. A unique synthesis of the theoretical and computational aspects of the discipline, this work serves as an ideal resource and a reference for professionals and researchers in various fields of science and engineering, including physics, chemical, mechanical, biomechanical and aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, and computational science.Contents
