Introduction to Fluid Dynamics: Understanding Fundamental Physics (Hardcover)

INTRODUCTION TO FLUID DYNAMICS

A concise resource that presents a physics-based introduction to fluid dynamics and helps students bridge the gap between mathematical theory and real-world physical properties

Introduction to Fluid Dynamics offers a unique physics-based approach to fluid dynamics. Instead of emphasizing specific problem-solving methodologies, this book explains and interprets the physics behind the theory, which helps mathematically-inclined students develop physical intuition while giving more physically-inclined students a better grasp of the underlying mathematics. Real-world examples and end-of-chapter practice problems are included to further enhance student understanding.

Written by a highly-qualified author and experienced educator, topics are covered in a progressive manner, enabling maximum reader comprehension from start to finish. Sample topics covered in the book include:

• How forces originate in fluids
• How to define pressure in a fluid in motion
• How to apply conservation laws to deformable substances
• How viscous stresses are related to strain rates
• How centrifugal forces and viscosity play a role in curved motions and vortex dynamics
• How vortices and centrifugal forces are related in external viscous flows
• How energy is viscously dissipated in internal viscous flows
• How compressibility is related to wave and wave speed

Students and instructors in advanced undergraduate or graduate fluid dynamics courses will find immense value in this concise yet comprehensive resource. It enables readers to easily understand complex fluid phenomena, regardless of the academic background they come from.

流體力學入門

這是一本簡明的資源，提供以物理為基礎的流體力學入門，幫助學生彌補數學理論與現實世界物理特性之間的差距

流體力學入門採用獨特的以物理為基礎的方法來介紹流體力學。這本書不強調特定的問題解決方法，而是解釋和解釋理論背後的物理原理，這有助於數學傾向的學生發展物理直覺，同時讓物理傾向的學生更好地掌握基礎數學知識。書中還包含現實世界的例子和章末練習問題，以進一步提高學生的理解能力。

本書由一位高資歷的作者和經驗豐富的教育工作者撰寫，主題以漸進的方式進行，從頭到尾最大限度地提高讀者的理解能力。書中涵蓋的示例主題包括：

• 力在流體中的起源
• 如何定義流體運動中的壓力
• 如何應用守恆定律於可變形物質
• 黏性應力如何與應變速率相關
• 離心力和黏性在曲線運動和渦旋動力學中的作用
• 渦旋和離心力在外部黏性流動中的關聯
• 能量在內部黏性流動中如何黏性耗散
• 壓縮性與波和波速的關聯

高年級本科生或研究生流體力學課程的學生和教師將會在這本簡明而全面的資源中找到巨大的價值。它使讀者能夠輕鬆理解複雜的流體現象，無論他們的學術背景如何。
