In the authors words, the overall goal is make the complex simple, without losing the essence--the virtue--of the complexity.Modeling Axisymmetric Flows: Dynamics of Films, Jets, and Drops is the first book to cover the topics of axisymmetric laminar flows; free-boundary flows; and dynamics of drops, jets, and films. The text also features comparisons of models to experiments, and it includes a large selection of problems at the end of each chapter.
- Contains problems at the end of each chapter
- Compares real-world experimental data to theory
- Provides one of the first comprehensive examinations of axisymmetric laminar flows, free-boundary flows, and dynamics of drops, jets, and films
- Includes development of basic equations
- Written in a style suitable for use as a textbook
Chemical and mechanical engineers, graduate engineering students, and fluid dynamicists.
