Introduction

Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems explains fundamental concepts of turbulent flow with boundary layer analysis. A general introduction to turbulent flow familiarizes the reader with the mechanics of turbulence in fluid flow in both nature and engineering applications. The book also explains related concepts including transient flow, methods for controlling transients, turbulent models and dynamic equations for unsteady flow through closed conduits. The contents of the book are designed to help both students and teachers in carrying out turbulent flow analysis and solving problems in engineering and hydraulic applications.

Key Features:
  • - All the basic concepts in turbulent flow are clearly identified and presented in a simple manner with illustrative and practical examples.
  • - Includes a self-contained approach to the subject, indicating prerequisite materials and information needed from courses.
  • - Each chapter also has a set of questions and problems to test the student’s power of comprehending the topics.
  • - Provides an exhaustive appendix on interesting examples.


Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems a useful textbook for students of engineering. It also serves as a quick reference for professionals, researchers and project consultants involved with processes that require turbulent flow and boundary layer methods analysis.

Preface

The present book is focused on fundamental concepts of turbulent flow with boundary layer analysis. It is the outgrowth of our several years of teaching postgraduate courses in mechanical engineering department at University of Technology. A general introduction to turbulent flow is provided discussing flows turbulent that occurring in nature and engineering application. Also transient flow, methods for controlling transients, turbulent models and dynamic equations are explained for unsteady flow through closed conduits. In this book, all the basic concepts in turbulent flow are clearly identified and presented in a simple manner with illustrative and practical examples. We have also attempted to make this book self-contained as much as possible; for example, materials needed from previous courses, such as equations, theory and engineering mechanics, are presented. Each chapter also has a set of questions and problems to test the student’s power of comprehending the topics. Many of our colleagues and academic friends helped us by giving valuable suggestions on the structure and content of this text and these were instrumental in improving the quality and presentation of this book. We wish to express our profound gratitude and appreciation to all of them.

It is expected that the book will be a useful reference/text for professionals/students of engineering and including dynamic research and project consultants undertaking turbulent flow and boundary layer methods analysis. We have tried not only to give a comprehensive coverage of the various aspects of turbulent flow analysis but provided an exhaustive appendix on interest examples. These examples, along with the topics discussed, will, we believe, help both students and teachers in carrying out turbulent flow analysis and solving problems. In this book, all the basic concepts in turbulent flow are clearly identified and presented in a simple manner with illustrative and practical examples.

Any suggestions for improving the contents would be warmly appreciated.
