Analytical Methods for Problems of Molecular Transport (Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications)

Analytical Methods for Problems of Molecular Transport (Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications) Review

This book is a superb tool in virtually all application areas involving the Kinetic Theory of Gases, Rarefied Gas Dynamics, Transport Theory, and Aerosol Mechanics. It has been especially designed to serve a dual function, both as a teaching instrument either in a classroom environment or at home, and as a reference for scientists and engineers working in the fields of Rarefied Gas Dynamics and Aerosol Mechanics.

Sediment Transport: A Geophysical Phenomenon (Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications)

Sediment Transport: A Geophysical Phenomenon (Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications) Review

This textbook discusses the fundamental principles of sediment transport in the geophysical context of rivers. It is intended as both a course textbook and as a guide for the practical engineer. It begins begin by describing phenomena such as bed load and suspension transport from a classical perspective. Concepts from turbulent flow regime are introduced to address the limitations of the classical approach to various aspects of sediment transport.
