INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW.

Abstract

This book is written as a textbook for students beginning a serious study of fluid dynamics, or for students in other fields who want to know the main ideas and results in this discipline. The contents not only treat incompressible flows themselves, but also give the student an understanding of how incompressible flows are related to the general compressible case. The beginning chapters are devoted to building the concepts and physics for a general, compressible, viscous fluid flow. These chapters taken by themselves constitute the fundamentals that one might study in any course concerning fluid dynamics. Beginning with Chapter 6 the study is restricted to fluids that obey Newton's viscosity law. Chapters 10-23 discuss in detail the subject of incompressible flow. Refs.
