Overview

Fluid dynamics is an area of fluid mechanics that deals with the movement of liquids and gases. It has many applications in engineering as well as non-engineering domains such as identifying the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, modeling detonation of fission weapon, calculating moments and forces on aircraft, and predicting weather patterns. It provides a systematic structure and uses empirical and semi-empirical laws obtained from flow measurement for solving various practical problems. Some of the significant technological uses of fluid dynamics include oil pipelines, rocket engines, air conditioning systems, and wind turbines. Experimental fluid dynamics (EFD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques are widely used across various branches of engineering. This book provides comprehensive insights into the recent advances in the field of engineering fluid dynamics. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
