DESCRIPTION:
One of the best intros to modern fluid mechanics & PDEs A Customer Too bad this is out of print - it is perhaps the most readable introduction there is to fluid mechanics (& its limitations).Starting from the simplest cases & from the physical descriptions, Shinbrot derives the mathematical models & describes what is known (or was known 20 years ago) about solving these models.After exhausting the classical approach, he gives a pellucid description of the modern function th
A considerable part of the final chapters is devoted to the Navier-Stokes equations. Mathematicians, physicists, and engineers will also benefit from this lucid treatment.The book begins with a derivation of the equations of fluid motion from statistical mechanics, followed by examinations of the classical theory and a portion of the modern mathematical theory of viscous, incompressible fluids. A readable and user-friendly introduction to fluid mechanics, this high-level text is geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Numerous exercises appear throughout the text.. The text assumes a familiarity with functional analysis and some complex variables, and it includes an especially valuable discussion of the modern function theoretic approach to solving partial differential equations
