Download or read book Principles and Applications of Dimensional Analysis and Similarity written by Sandro G. Longo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a summary of the historical evolution of dimensional analysis, and frames the problem of dimensions, systems of units and similarity in a vision dominated by the conventions that formalise even the exact sciences. The first four chapters address the definitions, with few dimensional analysis theorems and similarity criteria. There is also the analysis of self-similarity, both of first and second kind, with a couple of completely solved problems, framed within the group theory. From chapter 5 onward, the focus is on applications in some of the engineering sectors. The number of topics is necessarily limited, but, almost always, there are details, calculations and treatment of assumptions. The book contains descriptions of some of the experimental apparatuses currently used for the realisation of physical models, such as the wind tunnel, the shaking table, the centrifuge, and with the exclusion of many others, which can be found in specialist monographies. Measurement techniques and instrumentation and statistical data processing is also available in other books. Some more specific notions, required by the context, are reported in the appendix, where appears also the description of numerous dimensionless groups, all of engineering interest, but with the exclusion of many others related to physical processes of electrical nature or physics of particles. A glossary lists the meaning of some specific terms typical of dimensional analysis and used in the book.

Download or read book Dimensional Analysis written by Jeffrey H. Williams and published by IOP Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dimensional analysis is a powerful method to analyse complex physical phenomena, including those for which we cannot pose, much less solve governing equations. Its use in science and engineering is ubiquitous and has been central to the work of greats such as Lord Rayleigh, Bohr and Einstein. It offers a method for reducing complex physical problems to their simplest forms and provides a powerful tool for checking whether or not equations are dimensionally consistent and suggests plausible equations when we know which quantities are involved. Every scientist and engineer should have this tool at their command, and this book provides an accessible, modern, self-contained and systematic overview. It outlines the principles of similitude and presents the tools of dimensional analysis for both scientists and engineers and how it can be applied practically to aid not only a greater understanding of theoretical concepts but in designing experiments and analysing experimental data. With examples relevant to a wide range of students and not limited to the physical and engineering sciences, but encompasses the biological and life sciences. The technique has, for example, been used to estimate the running speed of a hungry Tyrannosaurus rex, a comparison of the flights of mosquitos and jet airliners, and the energy released by an atomic weapon. Key Features Draws on and presents examples across the physical, chemical and life sciences, as well as engineering applications Emphasises the technique as a tool and empowers readers to apply the method in developing their own experiments and theoretical understanding Includes methods, history and applications An engaging, accessible, self-contained and systematic resource.
Download or read book Fundamentals of Dimensional Analysis written by Alberto N. Conejo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book which systematically describes an integral approach on dimensional analysis. The amount of textbooks on dimensional analysis is huge, however most of the books start with the definition of the relevant variables. When the variables are given to the reader without prior knowledge on each problem it has serious consequences: the usefulness of dimensional analysis is not appreciated, is not possible to understand the real challenges of this subject and the result, which is a general relationship with dimensionless groups is useless. This book closes the hole in previous books because in addition to describe step by step how to reach the general relationship with dimensionless groups, which creates solid basis of different metallurgical problems to understand the role of the relevant variables. It provides a full description on how to obtain the experimental data and applies the experimental data to transform the general relationship in a particular solution. Once the reader learns how to design the experimental work and uses that information to define the particular solution, it is possible to asses if the selection of variables was adequate or not. The book is useful for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Download or read book Dimensional Analysis Beyond the Pi Theorem written by Bahman Zohuri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dimensional Analysis and Physical Similarity are well understood subjects, and the general concepts of dynamical similarity are explained in this book. Our exposition is essentially different from those available in the literature, although it follows the general ideas known as Pi Theorem. There are many excellent books that one can refer to; however, dimensional analysis goes beyond Pi theorem, which is also known as Buckingham’s Pi Theorem. Many techniques via self-similar solutions can bound solutions to problems that seem intractable. A time-developing phenomenon is called self-similar if the spatial distributions of its properties at different points in time can be obtained from one another by a similarity transformation, and identifying one of the independent variables as time. However, this is where Dimensional Analysis goes beyond Pi Theorem into self-similarity, which has represented progress for researchers. In recent years there has been a surge of interest in self-similar solutions of the First and Second kind. Such solutions are not newly discovered; they have been identified and named by Zel’dovich, a famous Russian Mathematician in 1956. They have been used in the context of a variety of problems, such as shock waves in gas dynamics, and filtration through elasto-plastic materials. Self-Similarity has simplified computations and the representation of the properties of phenomena under investigation. It handles experimental data, reduces what would be a random cloud of empirical points to lie on a single curve or surface, and constructs procedures that are self-similar. Variables can be specifically chosen for the calculations.
