Book Reviews of the Viscous Fluid Flow (Mcgraw Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering)
Customer Review: Great Introduction for graduate fluid flow
Summary: 5 Stars
Review Source: Graduate Mechanical Engineer, BE Mech. Eng.Frank White did an excellent job with this book for my level of knowledge anyway. It provided exactly what I wanted:
1. Preliminary concepts section that overviews gives a fairly advanced thermodynamic look at fluid properties and models and boundary conditions. great at stating assumptions of models.
2. Derivation of navier stokes and energy equation along with introduction to non-dimensionalization and explains all the dimensionless numbers involved with viscous flow and heat transfer.
3. Very "follow-able" derivations of many solutions to navier-stokes equations, ie Couette, duct, suction, porous media flows, low Reynolds creep.
4. 100 page of approximate laminar boundary layer model derivations, mostly 2D with introduction to 3D BL's. Still need Schlichting's "Boundary Layer Theory". Would have liked to have more on seperation.
5. The rest of the text goes into the stability of boundary layers, incompressible and compressible turbulent flow, and compressible turbulent boundary layers. I have not gotten this far in the text yet but I'm sure it's well written and technically sound after the reading the first half.
Very well written book for people interested in learning yet expands to fairly technical areas.
