Fluid dynamics handbook

Fluid dynamics is a sub discipline of fluid mechanics that deals with fluid flow-the natural science of fluids (liquids and gases) in motion. Fluid dynamics has a wide range of applications, including calculating forces and moments on aircraft, determining the mass flow rate of petroleum through pipelines, predicting weather patterns, understanding nebulae in interstellar space and modelling fission weapon detonation. Some of its principles are even used in traffic engineering, where traffic is treated as a continuous fluid, and crowd dynamics. The book "Fluid Dynamics Handbook" is divided into ten chapter. Combined effects of centrifugal and coriolis instability of the flow through a rotating curved duct with rectangular cross section have been discussed in first chapter. Application of computational fluid dynamics has been introduced in second chapter. The main objective of third chapter is to redesign the roof shape of a greenhouse for reducing overall inside temperature level. The emphasis of fourth chapter is to investigate the effectiveness of an adjoint-base grid adaptation method for unstructured grid in capturing concentrated vortices generated at sharp edges or flow separation lines of lifting surfaces flying at high angles of attack. Computational fluid dynamics and its impact on flow measurements have been introduced in fifth chapter. Sixth chapter determines the internal wind flow inside a windbreak fence, identifying an area unaffected by wind in order to measure the snowfall. Electromagnetic control of turbulent boundary layer on a ship hull is numerically has been investigated in seventh chapter. The aim of eighth chapter is to investigate a method to perform non-isothermal flow simulation in a complex geometry for generalized Newtonian fluids. Ninth chapter provides insight to the transport phenomena of rarefied gases through nanochannels which have established their potential in microscale and nanoscale heat transfer applications. Practical approach of turbulence, vibrations, noise and fluid instabilities has been described in last chapter.
