Applied Fluid Dynamics Handbook Book

In this edition of a book first published in 1984 by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, Inc., readers will find a summary of theoretical, experimental, and statistical data on fluid flows. The book is designed to present a range of fluid dynamics in a concise form with extensive use of tables and graphics so that students, engineers, and researchers can rapidly locate an accurate summary of data and methods. Emphasis is on applied fluid dynamics, in particular those problems of practical importance which have received attention in the literature. Material is in sections on areas including pipe and duct flow, open channel flow, fluid dynamic drag, wind and atmospheric processes, and ocean waves. Author information is not given.
