DESCRIPTION:
"there is much of interest in this book. Watson, Mathematical Reviews . The problems are particularly helpful in providing topics for discussion." E.J. The figures and numerical results illustrate trends of variation that add to the understanding of a difficult subject
The text unifies the various topics by tracing a logical progression from simple to complex governing differential equations and boundary conditions. Forced convection, free convection, and the compressible laminar boundary layer are discussed in the remaining chapters. The book begins by deriving the Navier-Stokes equation for a viscous compressible variable property fluid. The reader must first choose a mathematical model and derive governing equations based on realistic assumptions, or become aware of the limitations and assumptions associated with existing models. The solution technique may be either analytical or numeric
A good book to have It's an ok book relatively speaking. The author is quite bias towards boundary layer methods to which the author is perhaps more comfortable with, rather than a more vigorous assessment of other methods
