The subject of turbulence, the most forbidding in fluid dynamics, has usually proved treacherous to the beginner, caught in the whirls and eddies of its nonlinearities and statistical imponderables. This is the first book specifically designed to offer the student a smooth transitionary course between elementary fluid dynamics (which gives only last-minute attention to turbulence) and the profe…
Provides innovative techniques for solving complex nonlinear partial differential equations, previously only available to scientists involved in classified government funded projects. · Goes beyond the traditional Pi (Buckingham) Theorem method to apply dimensional analysis to gas dynamics and thermal hydraulics problems where both laminar and turbulent fluids come into play · Includes specif…
