This textbook treats Hydro- and Fluid Dynamics, the engineering
science dealing with forces and energies generated by fluids in
motion, playing a vital role in everyday life. Practical examples
include the flow motion in the kitchen sink, the exhaust fan above
the stove, and the air conditioning system in our home. When
driving a car, the air flow around the vehicle body induces some
drag which increases with the square of the car speed and
contributes to excess fuel consumption. Engineering applications
encompass fluid transport in pipes and canals, energy generation,
environmental processes and transportation (cars, ships,
aircrafts). This book deals with the topic of applied
hydrodynamics. The lecture material is grouped into two
complementary sections: ideal fluid flow and real fluid flow. The
former deals with two- and possibly three-dimensional fluid motions
that are not subject to boundary friction effects, while the latter
considers the flow regions affected by boundary friction and
turbulent shear. The lecture material is designed as an
intermediate course in fluid dynamics for senior undergraduate and
postgraduate students in Civil, Environmental, Hydraulic and
Mechanical Engineering. It is supported by notes, applications,
remarks and discussions in each chapter. Moreover a series of
appendices is added, while some major homework assignments are
developed at the end of the book, before the bibliographic
references.
