Introductory text for engineers, physicists, and applied mathematicians applies mathematics of Cartesian and general tensors to physical field theories, demonstrating them chiefly in terms of the theory of fluid mechanics. Many exercises throughout the text. Index. Preface. Appendixes.
Continuum Mechanics: Concise Theory and Problems by P. Chadwick Comprehensive treatment offers 115 solved problems and exercises to promote understanding of vector and tensor theory, basic kinematics, balance laws, field equations, jump conditions, and constitutive equations.
Mathematical Modelling Techniques by Rutherford Aris Highly useful volume discusses the types of models, how to formulate and manipulate them for best results. Numerous examples.
Fluid Mechanics by Robert A. Granger Structured introduction covers everything the engineer needs to know: nature of fluids, hydrostatics, differential and integral relations, dimensional analysis, viscous flows, more. Solutions to selected problems. 760 illustrations. 1985 edition.
Introduction to Vectors and Tensors: Second Edition--Two Volumes Bound as One by Ray M. Bowen, C.-C. Wang Convenient single-volume compilation of two texts offers both introduction and in-depth survey. Geared toward engineering and science students rather than mathematicians, it focuses on physics and engineering applications. 1976 edition.
Dimensional Analysis: Examples of the Use of Symmetry by Hans G. Hornung Derived from a course in fluid mechanics, this text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students employs symmetry arguments to illustrate the principles of dimensional analysis. 2006 edition.
Bubbles, Drops, and Particles by R. Clift, J. R. Grace, M. E. Weber This volume offers a unified treatment and critical review of the literature related to the fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mass transfer of single bubbles, drops, and particles. 1978 ed.
Flow-Induced Vibrations: An Engineering Guide by Eduard Naudascher, Donald Rockwell Graduate-level text synthesizes research and experience from disparate fields to form guidelines for dealing with vibration phenomena, particularly in terms of assessing sources of excitation in a flow system. 1994 edition.
