Viscous Fluid Flow

Frank White's Viscous Fluid Flow, Third Edition continues to be the market leader in this course area. The text is for a senior pr graduate level elective in Mechanical Engineering, and has a strong professional and international appeal. Author Frank White is has a strong reputation in the field, his book is accurate, conceptually strong, and contains excellent problem sets. A large number of the problems are new to this third edition; a rarity among senior and graduate level textbooks as advanced problems are difficult to create. The references found in the text have been updated and reflect the most current information available. Users will also be interested to find explanations of, and references to ongoing controversies and trends in this course area. Topically speaking, the text contains modern information on technological advances, such as Micro- and Nano-technology, Turbulence Modeling, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Unsteady Boundary Layers. New material has been added to chapters 1, 3, and 4 on microflows, slip in liquids, gas slip flow in tubes and channels, and a novel micro-pump|Chapter five, The Stability of Laminar Flows, now begins with the classic Kelvin-Helmholtz wind-wave instability. A great wind-shear cloud-wave photo has been added too|The discussion of turbulence modeling in chapter six has been completely rewritten, expanded and updated. |A text Web site will accompany this text at http://www.engineeringcs.com. The site will host general textbook information, the solutions to end of chapter problems, and additional reference resources. |Topically speaking, the text contains modern information on technological advances, such as Micro- and Nano-technology, Turbulence Modeling, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Unsteady Boundary Layers|The role of Computerized Fluid Mechanics ("CFD") in viscous fluid flow/boundary layer analysis is mentioned, and 2 new applications of CFD are given for liquid spheres and a novel micro-pump. |Each reference in the text reflects the most recent information available|Frank White has always been recognized for his enagaging, and easy-to-read writing style
