Inviscid Incompressible Flow (Hardcover)

The study of fluid dynamics focuses on the motions of liquids and gases and their interactions with solid bodies. Inviscid flow occurs when the effect of shear stresses on a fluid's motion is sufficiently small, as compared to other influences, so that they are considered negligible and can be ignored (hence having zero viscosity or being "inviscid"). A fluid is considered incompressible when the density of a liquid does not change or changes in such small amounts that its effects are canceled out when calculating the movement of liquid. Thus, an inviscid incompressible flow is a calculated flow that retains constant density and does not sustain a measurable amount stress. This represents most fluid dynamic situations encountered in the real world including flow through pipes and other vessels. The study of this kind of flow is an integral part of modern advanced fluid dynamics, which involves a great amount of fluid computations.

This course is offered at most engineering schools at the first year graduate level. Our very successful book by Ron Panton covers the same course from a different approach. With the combination of Panton and Marshall's books, we will have a book for every fluid dynamics course offered.
