DESCRIPTION:
. For his work in developing the PMARC computational tool, he and his team received the 1997 NASA Space Act Award. Dr Joseph Katz is Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at San Diego State University. His book on race car aerodynamics can be found on the desks of most race car designers around the world. In recent years, he has bee
"Since I read this book, the sky opened and" according to Arturo I SotomayorGayosso. Since I read this book, the sky opened and a light shined through and I immediately knew all there is to know about fluid mechanics. Now I am working on my own spaceship made entirely from melted down teflon and tungsten that I pulled out from 20,000 toasters
"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it: particularly for the more mathematically inclined. Miller, AIAA Journal January 2012 . This is a text that will be kept long after a degree and used as a reference book throughout one's career." - Richard S
The first objective of this introductory text is to familiarize students who have been exposed to only one course on fluids with the basic elements of fluid mechanics so that, in the event that their future work relies on occasional numerical solutions, they will be familiar with the jargon of the discipline and the expected results. This provides a logical hierarchy and explains the interconnectivity between the various models. Supporting examples demonstrate the principles and provide engineering analysis tools for many engineering calculations.. The second objective is to provide a comprehensive foundation for more advanced courses in fluid mechanics (within disciplines such as mechanical or aerospace engineering). At the same time, this book can serve as a long-term reference text, contrary to the oversimplified approach occasionally used for such introductory courses. In order to avoid confusing the students, the governing equations are introduced early, and the assumptions leading to the various models are clearly presented
