Computational Fluid Dynamics

Paul D. Bates , Robert I. Ferguson , Stuart N. Lane

Uniquely outlines CFD theory in a manner relevant to environmental applications. This book addresses the basic topics in CFD modelling in a thematic manner to provided the necessary theoretical background, as well as providing global cases studies showing how CFD models...

Transport Phenomena in Porous Media III

Derek B Ingham , Ioan Pop

Fluid and flow problems in porous media have attracted the attention of industrialists, engineers and scientists from varying disciplines, such as chemical, environmental, and mechanical engineering, geothermal physics and food science. There has been a increasing...

Valve Selection Handbook

Peter Smith , R. W. Zappe

Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. They are used extensively in the process industries, especially petrochemical. Though there are only four basic types of valves, there is an...

Fluid-Structure Interactions, Volume 2

Michael P. Paidoussis

The text is richly illustrated, lightly written and more wide-ranging than Volume 1. A comprehensive treatment of fluid-structure interactions involving axial flow and slender structures, such as piping, human veins, aircraft, nuclear reactor fuel and submarine skins. ...

Introduction to Practical Fluid Flow

R. Peter King

Introduction to Practical Fluid Flow provides information on the the solution of practical fluid flow and fluid transportation problems through the application of fluid dynamics. Emphasising the solution of practical operating and design problems, the text concentrates...

Capture Pumping Technology

K. Welch

This is a practical textbook written for use by engineers, scientists and technicians. It is not intended to be a rigorous scientific treatment of the subject material, as this would fill several volumes. Rather, it introduces the reader to the fundamentals of the...

Particles at Fluid Interfaces and Membranes

K. Nagayama , P. Kralchevsky

In the small world of micrometer to nanometer scale many natural and industrial processes include attachment of colloid particles (solid spheres, liquid droplets, gas bubbles or protein macromolecules) to fluid interfaces and their confinement in liquid films. This may...

10th European Conference on Mixing

J.J. Derksen , Harry E.A. Van Den Akker

Traditionally, fluid mixing and the related multiphase contacting processes have always been regarded as an empirical technology. Many aspects of mixing, dispersing and contacting were related to power draw, but understanding of the phenomena was limited or qualitative...

Rheology: An Historical Perspective

R.I. Tanner , K. Walters

The science of rheology remains a mystery to most people, even to some scientists. Some respectable dictionaries have been quite cavalier in their attitude to the science, the small Collins Gem dictionary, for example, being quite happy to inform us that a Rhea is an...

Introduction to Fluid Mechanics

Yasuki Nakayama

Fluid mechanics is often seen as the most difficult core subject encountered by engineering students. The problem stems from the necessity to visualise complex flow patterns and fluid behaviour modelled by high level mathematics. This text overcomes this difficulty by...

Fluid Mechanics of Viscoelasticity

R.R. Huilgol , N. Phan-Thien

The areas of suspension mechanics, stability and computational rheology have exploded in scope and substance in the last decade.The present book is one of the first of a comprehensive nature to treat these topics in detail.The aim of the authors has been to highlight...

Advances in Porous Media

M.Y. Corapcioglu

Advances in Porous Media, Volume 3 presents in-depth review papers that give a comprehensive coverage of the field of transport in porous media. This is the third volume in the series which treats transport phenomena in porous media as an interdisciplinary topic. The...

Air Bubble Entrainment in Free-Surface Turbulent Shear Flows

Hubert Chanson

This book develops an analysis of the air entrainment processes in free-surface flows. These flows are investigated as homogeneous mixtures with variable density. Several types of air-water free-surface flows are studied: plunging jet flows, open channel flows, and...

Fluid Mechanics

L D Landau , E.M. Lifshitz

This is the most comprehensive introductory graduate or advanced undergraduate text in fluid mechanics available. It builds up from the fundamentals, often in a general way, to widespread applications, to technology and geophysics. New to this second edition are...

Theory of Molecular Fluids

C. G. Gray , K. E. Gubbins
