Handbook of Fluid Dynamics - Tapa dura

"a professionally written, extensive source of informationvery useful to government, industry and university researchers to plan future research tasks in analytical, computational, and experimental methods and applications." -Pure and Applied Geophysics

This book provides professionals in the field of fluid dynamics with a comprehensive guide and resource. The book balances three traditional areas of fluid mechanics - theoretical, computational, and experimental - and expounds on basic science and engineering techniques.
Each chapter introduces a topic, discusses the primary issues related to this subject, outlines approaches taken by experts, and supplies references for further information.
Topics discussed include:

basic engineering fluid dynamics

classical fluid dynamics

turbulence modeling

reacting flows

multiphase flows

flow and porous media

high Reynolds number asymptotic theories

finite difference method

finite volume method

finite element method

spectral element methods for incompressible flows

experimental methods, such as hot-wire anemometry, laser-Doppler velocimetry, and flow visualization

applications, such as axial-flow compressor and fan aerodynamics, turbomachinery, airfoils and wings, atmospheric flows, and mesoscale oceanic flows
The text enables experts in particular areas to become familiar with useful information from outside their specialization, providing a broad reference for the significant areas within fluid dynamics.
