This book is meant for students in their introductory heat transfer course —students who have learned calculus (through ordinary differential equations) and basic thermodynamics. We include the needed background in fluid mechanics, although students
This book gives an excellent introduction to fluid dynamics First published in 1967, Professor Batchelor's classic work is still one of the foremost texts on fluid dynamics. His careful presentation of the underlying theories of fluids is still time
The field of visualization is focused on creating images that convey salient information about underlying data and processes. In the past three decades, the field has seen unprecedented growth in computational and acquisition technologies, which has

The pneumatic transport of granular material is a common operation frequently employed to transport solid particles from one location to another in chemical, process and agricultural industries. It is environmentally friendly, flexible and can be fu
Controlling fluids is still an open and challenging problem in fluid animation. In this paper we develop a novel fluid animation control approach and we present its application to controlling breaking waves. In our Slice Method framework an animator
The fourth volume of the Third Edition of the Mechanical Engineers’ Handbook comprises 32 chapters. The volume begins with a chapter on thermophysical properties of fluids, then covers fundamentals of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics (including a cha
Algorithms for reconstruction of linear and circular birefringence-dichroism of optically thin anisotropic biological layers are presented. The technique of Jones-matrix tomography of polycrystalline films of biological fluids of various human organs
