The first part aims at providing the physical and theoretical framework of the analysis of density variations in fully turbulent flows. Its scope is deliberately educational.
In the second part, basic data on dynamical and scalar properties of variable density turbulent flows are presented and discussed, based on experimental data and/or results from direct numerical simulations. This part is rather concerned with a research audience.
The last part is more directly devoted to an engineering audience and deals with prediction methods for turbulent flows of variable density fluid. Both first and second order, single point modeling are discussed, with special emphasis on the capability to include specific variable density / compressibility effects.

This textbook provides a coherent and structured overview of fluid mechanics, a discipline concerned with many natural phenomena and at the very heart of the most diversified industrial applications and human activities. The balance between phenomenological analysis, physical conceptualization and mathematical formulation serve both as a unifying educational marker and as a methodological guide to the three parts of the work. The thermo-mechanical motion equations of a homogeneous single-phase fluid are established, from which flow models (perfect fluid, viscous) and motion classes (isovolume, barotropic, irrotational, etc.) are derived. Incompressible, potential flows and compressible flows, both in an isentropic evolution and shock, of an ideal inviscid fluid are addressed in the second part. The viscous fluid is the subject of the last one, with the creeping motion regime and the laminar, dynamic and thermal boundary layer. Historical perspectives are included whenever they enrich the understanding of modern concepts. Many examples, chosen for their pedagogical relevance, are dealt with in exercises. The book is intended as a teaching tool for undergraduate students, wishing to acquire a first command of fluid mechanics, as well as graduates in advanced courses and engineers in other fields, concerned with completing what is sometimes a scattered body of knowledge.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Often called the father of modern running and basketball sneakers, Jacques Chassaing has shaped and influenced sports and street fashion like few designers ever will. For the first time, Chassaing reveals what an entire culture has been waiting to hear: the story behind the forty-year career of a pioneering designer who has continually pushed boundaries and led the creation of many of the world s most beloved sneakers. Chassaing thrills and provokes readers with his life experiences, taking them on a journey of continual evolution and revolution. We learn about those who have inspired him and meet those he has inspired. We discover what drove his design philosophy and the process behind some of the greatest sneakers and sports technology ever created: the Forum, Rivalry, Lendl, Edberg, ZX series, Predator, EQT line, Torsion, and his Porsche Design collabs, to name but a few. And we see how Chassaing s designs have impacted modern culture and won a place on the feet and in the hearts of millions of people. This book features stories about and contributions from athletes, celebrities, and designers who have worked with and been influenced by Chassaing and his work, including Michael Jordan, Stefan Edberg, Patrick Ewing, Run DMC, Gary Aspden, Paul Gaudio, and many more. Art directed by Peter Moore, designer of the Nike Air Jordan 1 and creator of the adidas Originals line, From Soul to Sole is a story, a statement, an experience, and a celebration of a life and career that is still impacting how we think about sneakers and street fashion design today.

In various industrial applications, turbulence can be affected by density variations resulting from different origins acting simultaneously. This monograph is intended as a first attempt to address variable density fluid turbulence in a unifying manner. It is based on a rational approach, developed along a gradual analysis of the complexity resulting from density fluctuations in turbulence.
The first part aims at providing the physical and theoretical framework of the analysis of density variations in fully turbulent flows. Its scope is deliberately educational.
In the second part, basic data on dynamical and scalar properties of variable density turbulent flows are presented and discussed, based on experimental data and/or results from direct numerical simulations. This part is rather concerned with a research audience.
The last part is more directly devoted to an engineering audience and deals with prediction methods for turbulent flows of variable density fluid. Both first and second order, single point modeling are discussed, with special emphasis on the capability to include specific variable density / compressibility effects.
The main topics are:

-Physical aspects of variable density turbulent flows,
-General equations and Classification of variable density turbulent flows,
-Statistical averaging in variable density fluids motions,
-Velocity and scalar structure in passive contaminant turbulence,
-Basic Mechanisms in low speed variable denisty turbulence,
-The high speed free shear layer and Single point closure in variable density fluid turbulence. The book is intended for a rather wide audience, including postgraduate students, researchers and engineers. Variable Density Fluid Turbulence should be of interest to various domains of Mechanics, Energy and Environmental Fluid Dynamics, such as Aerodynamics, Turbulence, Compressible flows, Heat and Mass Transfer, Machinery Fluid Mechanics, Thermal sciences

The up-to-date, comprehensive volume on digital methods for waveform generation, digital filters, and digital signal processing tools and techniques

DSP Applications Using C and the TMS320C6x DSK provides a hands-on learning approach to digital signal processing (DSP) that uses real-time implementation of experiments and projects. Chapters begin with a theoretical discussion, followed by examples that present the necessary background to perform the concluding experiments. A total of seventy-six solved-programming examples are included, most of which are done in C/C++ (C) code with a few in assembly and linear assembly code.

The tools used in this book, the Code Composer Studio (CCS) and the TMS320C6711 DSP Starter Kit (DSK), are introduced in the first chapter. Examples are given here that illustrate the capabilities of the CCS for debugging as well as plotting in time and frequency domains. The CCS and DSK are used throughout the book while working with covered material such as:

• Input and output (I/O) with the codec on the DSK board and alternative I/O with a stereo audio codec that interfaces with the DSK

• The architecture and instructions available for the TMS320C6x processor

• The z-transform and finite impulse response (FIR) filters and the effect of window functions on these filters

• Infinite impulse response (IIR) filters

• The fast Fourier transform (FFT)

• The adaptive filter

• Techniques for code optimization

Complete with ample DSP applications and projects, a related Web site, and a CD-ROM that contains all the programs discussed in the book, DSP Applications Using C and the TMS320C6x DSK is invaluable to senior and graduate students in electrical and computer engineering, as well as professional engineers and anyone conducting in-house tutorials or seminars on DSP.
