INTRODUCTION TO THEORETICAL AND MATHEMATICAL FLUID DYNAMICS A practical treatment of mathematical fluid dynamics In Introduction to Theoretical and Mathematical Fluid Dynamics, distinguished researcher Dr. Bhimsen K. Shivamoggi delivers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of fluid dynamics from a mathematical point of view. The book introduces readers to the mathematical study of fluid behavior and highlights areas of active research in fluid dynamics. With coverage of advances in the field over the last 15 years, this book provides in-depth examinations of theoretical and mathematical fluid dynamics with a particular focus on incompressible and compressible fluid flows. Introduction to Theoretical and Mathematical Fluid Dynamics includes practical applications and exercises to illustrate the concepts discussed within, and real-world examples are explained throughout the text. Clear and explanatory material accompanies the rigorous mathematics, making the book perfect for students seeking to learn and retain this complex subject. The book also offers: A thorough introduction to the basic concepts and equations of fluid dynamics, including an introduction to the fluid model, the equations of fluid flows, and surface tension effects Comprehensive explorations of the dynamics of incompressible fluid flows, fluid kinematics and dynamics, the complex-variable method, and three-dimensional irrotational flows Detailed discussions of the dynamics of compressible fluid flows, including a review of thermodynamics, isentropic fluid flows, potential flows, and nonlinear theory of plane sound waves Systematic discussions of the dynamics of viscous fluid flows, including shear-layer flow, jet flow and wake flow. Ideal for graduate-level students taking courses on mathematical fluid dynamics as part of a program in mathematics, engineering, or physics, Introduction to Theoretical and Mathematical Fluid Dynamics is also an indispensable resource for practicing applied mathematicians, engineers, and physicists.
