Explores the equations that govern heat and momentum transfer in laminar and turbulent boundary-layer lows with small temperature differences and buoyant flows. Numerical solutions, a large number of homework problems and several computer programs based on differential and integral methods are included.
From the contents: Introduction.- Conservation Equations for Mass, Momentum, and Energy.- Boundary-Layer Equations.- Laminar Boundary Layers.- Laminar Duct Flows.- Transport-Equation Turbulence Models.- Turbulent Duct Flows.- Buoyant Flows.- Finite-Difference Solution of Boundary-Layer Equations: Internal Flows.- Finite Difference Solution of Boundary-Layer Equations: External Flows.- Computer Programs and Their Applications to Momentum and Heat Transfer Problems.
This book is a modern presentation exploring the equations that govern heat and momentum transfer in laminar and turbulent boundary-layer flows with small temperature differences and buoyant flows. Numerical solutions are used to illustrate physical behavior and to demonstrate calculation methods. A large number of homework problems and several computer programs based on differential and integral methods are included. An accompanying CD-ROM contains computer programs which are of use to engineers and practitioners.
From the reviews of the second edition:
"The book is addressed to senior undergraduate students in aerospace, chemical, civil and mechanical engineering, but is useful to anyone interested in environmental science. [...] The book gives a very useful engineering approach to the treated problems from the point of view of the author, a scientist with substantial contributions in the study of boundary layer problems, who likes to express things clearly and directly." (Mathematical Reviews 2003h)
"[The] monograph reflects many-years experience of the author in modelling of fluid flows, and the material is presented in a clear and well-organized fashion. Thus the book is highly recommended reading for those wishing to be familiar with practical numerical modelling in fluid mechanics." (Zentralblatt Math 2005, 1057, page 87)
