Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free Surface Flow: Environmental Fluid Mechanics introduces a wide range of environmental fluid flows, such as water waves, land runoff, channel flow, and effluent discharge. The book provides systematic analysis tools and basic skills for study fluid mechanics in natural and constructed environmental flows. As the prediction of changes in free surfaces in rivers, lakes, estuaries and in the ocean directly affects the design of structures that control surface waters, and because planning for the allocation of fresh-water resources in a sustainable manner is an essential goal, this book provides the necessary background and research. - Helps users determine the transfer of solute mass through the air-water interface - Presents tactics on the impact of free shear flow in the environment and how to quantify mixing mechanisms in turbulent jets and wakes - Gives users tactics to predict the fate and transport of contaminants in stratified lakes and estuaries

Book excerpt: "With the appearance and fast evolution of high performance materials, mechanical, chemical and process engineers cannot perform effectively without fluid processing knowledge. The purpose of this book is to explore the systematic application of basic engineering principles to fluid flows that may occur in fluid processing and related activities. In Viscous Fluid Flow, the authors develop and rationalize the mathematics behind the study of fluid mechanics and examine the flows of Newtonian fluids. Although the material deals with Newtonian fluids, the concepts can be easily generalized to non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. The book contains many examples. Each chapter is accompanied by problems where the chapter theory can be applied to produce characteristic results. Fluid mechanics is a fundamental and essential element of advanced research, even for those working in different areas, because the principles, the equations, the analytical, computational and experimental means, and the purpose are common.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the topics in inviscid fluid dynamics are not only vitally important mechanisms in everyday life but they are also readily observable without any need for instrumentation. It is therefore stimulating when the mathematics that emerges when these phenomena are modelled is novel and suggestive of alternative methodologies. This book provides senior undergraduates who are already familiar with inviscid fluid dynamics with some of the basic facts about the modelling and analysis of viscous flows. It clearly presents the salient physical ideas and the mathematical ramifications with exercises designed to be an integral part of the text. By showing the basic theoretical framework which has developed as a result of the study of viscous flows, the book should be ideal reading for students of applied mathematics who should then be able to delve further into the subject and be well placed to exploit mathematical ideas throughout the whole of applied science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonardo wrote, “Mechanics is the paradise of the mathematical sciences, because by means of it one comes to the fruits of mathematics”; replace “Mechanics” by “Fluid mechanics” and here we are. - From the Preface to the Second Edition Although the exponential growth of computer power has advanced the importance of simulations and visualization tools for elaborating new models, designs and technologies, the discipline of fluid mechanics is still large, and turbulence in flows remains a challenging problem in classical physics. Like its predecessor, the revised and expanded Second Edition of this book addresses the basic principles of fluid mechanics and solves fluid flow problems where viscous effects are the dominant physical phenomena. Much progress has occurred in the half a century that has passed since the edition of 1964. As predicted, aspects of hydrodynamics once considered offbeat have risen to importance. For example, the authors have worked on problems where variations in viscosity and surface tension cannot be ignored. The advent of nanotechnology has broadened interest in the hydrodynamics of thin films, and hydromagnetic effects and radiative heat transfer are routinely encountered in materials processing. This monograph develops the basic equations, in the three most important coordinate systems, in a way that makes it easy to incorporate these phenomena into the theory. The book originally described by Prof. Langlois as "a monograph on theoretical hydrodynamics, written in the language of applied mathematics" offers much new coverage including the second principle of thermodynamics, the Boussinesq approximation, time dependent flows, Marangoni convection, Kovasznay flow, plane periodic solutions, Hele-Shaw cells, Stokeslets, rotlets, finite element methods, Wannier flow, corner eddies, and analysis of the Stokes operator.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled UNSTEADY FREE-SURFACE WAVES GENERATED BY BODIES IN A VISCOUS FLUID submitted by Lu Dongqiang for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in December 2002 The interaction of laminar flows with free-surface waves generated by submerged bodies in an incompressible viscous fluid of infinite depth is investigated analytically. The analysis is based on the linearized Navier-Stokes equations for disturbed flows. The kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions are linearized for the small-amplitude free-surface waves, and the initial values of the flow are taken to be those of the steady-state cases. The submerged bodies are mathematically represented by fundamental singularities of viscous flows. In the first part of this thesis, the fundamental solutions for the singular Stokes and Oseen flows in an unbounded fluid are derived in a universal form which involves the Hamiltonian, Hessian, and Laplacian operators, and elementary functions. The new solutions for singular unsteady flows can be theoretically applied to construct solutions for general unsteady flows. In the second part, the interaction of unsteady low-Reynolds-number flows with a free surface is investigated analytically. The disturbed flows, generated by submerged bodies moving vertically downwards away from the surface of the fluid, are governed by the unsteady Stokes equations. The submerged body is modeled as a Stokeslet with a vertical component. The asymptotic representations for free-surface waves produced by the instantaneous and oscillating Stokeslets are derived for large time with a fixed distance-to-time ratio. In the third part, the interaction of unsteady far wakes with a free surface is investigated analytically. The disturbed flows generated by submerged bodies moving horizontally beneath the free surface of the fluid are governed by the unsteady Oseen equations. The submerged body is modeled as an Oseenlet with horizontal and vertical components corresponding respectively to the drag and lift exerted on the body. The asymptotic representations are derived for the far-field free-surface waves produced by two-dimensional suddenly starting, suddenly stopping, and oscillating Oseenlets, and by three-dimensional suddenly starting and suddenly stopping Oseenlets. The results obtained show analytically the effects of unsteadiness, viscosity, and submergence on the waves generated. It is found that the unsteady waves generated by a body consist of steady-state and transient responses. As time tends to infinity, the transient waves vanish due to the presence of a viscous decay factor. Thus, an ultimate steady state can be attained. It is demonstrated that the non-physical behavior predicted by the potential-flow theory disappears with the application of the present viscous theory.
