Beskrivning

This new edition textbook is a comprehensive guide to hydrodynamics and fluid dynamics, addressing phenomena encountered in everyday life and critical engineering applications across multiple disciplines. Introducing brand new photographs and figures, an additional chapter, along with expanded appendices and a comprehensive subject index, this is an exposition on the application of the fundamental principles of mechanics and thermodynamics to understand fluid flow motion, forces, and energies.The book is divided into two major sections: ideal fluid flow and real fluid flow. Ideal fluid flow examines two and three-dimensional fluid motions unaffected by boundary friction effects, while real fluid flow addresses regions influenced by boundary friction and turbulent shear. Practical examples range from flow motion in kitchen sinks and exhaust fans to air conditioning systems. Engineering applications encompass fluid transport in pipes and canals, energy generation, environmental processes, and transportation systems including cars, ships, and aircraft. Additional topics include environmental wind flow, flow motion in pipelines and wate distribution in cities. The material illustrates how air flow around a vehicle body induces drag force that increases with the square of speed, contributing to fuel consumption.The lecture material is designed as an intermediate course for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in Civil, Environmental, Hydraulic, and Mechanical Engineering.

Mer om författaren

Hubert Chanson is Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland, where he has been since 1990, having previously enjoyed an industrial career for six years. His main field of expertise is environmental fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering, both in terms of theoretical fundamentals, physical and numerical modelling. He leads a group of 5-10 researchers, largely targeting flows around hydraulic structures, two-phase (gas-liquid and solid-liquid) free-surface flows, turbulence in steady and unsteady open channel flows, using computation, lab-scale experiments, field work and analysis. He has published over 1,300 peer reviewed publications including two dozen of books.He serves on the editorial boards of International Journal of Multiphase Flow, Flow Measurement and Instrumentation, Journal of Hydraulic Research, and Environmental Fluid Mechanics, the latter of which he is currently a senior Editor. Since 1994, he has been involved in the organisation of a dozen international scientific conferences. And he chaired the Organisation of the 34th IAHR Word Congress (2011) and of the 22nd Australasian Fluid Mechanics Conference (2020), both held in Brisbane, Australia.
