New Edition Now Covers Shock-Wave Analysis

An in-depth presentation of analytical methods and physical foundations, Analytical Fluid Dynamics, Third Edition breaks down the "how" and "why" of fluid dynamics. While continuing to cover the most fundamental topics in fluid mechanics, this latest work emphasizes advanced analytical approaches to aid in the analytical process and corresponding physical interpretation. It also addresses the need for a more flexible mathematical language (utilizing vector and tensor analysis and transformation theory) to cover the growing complexity of fluid dynamics.

Revised and updated, the text centers on shock-wave structure, shock-wave derivatives, and shock-produced vorticity; supersonic diffusers; thrust and lift from an asymmetric nozzle; and outlines operator methods and laminar boundary-layer theory. In addition, the discussion introduces pertinent assumptions, reasons for studying a particular topic, background discussion, illustrative examples, and numerous end-of-chapter problems.

Utilizing a wide variety of topics on inviscid and viscous fluid dynamics, the author covers material that includes:

Viscous dissipation
The second law of thermodynamics
Calorically imperfect gas flows
Aerodynamic sweep
Shock-wave interference
Unsteady one-dimensional flow
Internal ballistics
Force and momentum balance
The Substitution Principle
Rarefaction shock waves
A comprehensive treatment of flow property derivatives just downstream of an unsteady three-dimensional shock
Shock-generated vorticity
Triple points
An extended version of the Navier?Stokes equations
Shock-free supersonic diffusers
Lift and thrust from an asymmetric nozzle

Analytical Fluid Dynamics, Third Edition

outlines the basics of analytical fluid mechanics while emphasizing analytical approaches to fluid dynamics. Covering the material in-depth, this book provides an authoritative interpretation of formulations and procedures in analytical fluid dynamics, and offers analytical solutions to fluid dynamic problems.

Industry Reviews

"The author has formulated curved shock theory with vector notation. This is a new and useful approach that has led to new results and insights and independent verification of the complex algebraic results of earlier tensor methods, the theory is surrounded by careful and thorough treatment of assumptions and limitations. Problems at the end of the chapter are well-chosen to promote a deeper understanding. This is a must-read for anyone searching for an appreciation of curved shock wave theory."
-Sannu Moelder, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

"In the modern era where computational techniques dominate, it is refreshing to see a book that returns to the fundamentals in depth and breadth. Emanuel's book is a solid treatment of basic fluid physics. It provides elegant and yet easy-to-follow mathematical treatments of a wide range of topics that are important in contemporary applications. One of the useful aspects of the work is its clear elucidation of the flow physics that is firmly grounded in the mathematics. Such revelations are difficult if not impossible to come by from numerical analysis. Thus, another value of this book is to provide checks to computational results."
-Frank K. Lu, University of Texas at Arlington

"Professor Emanuel extends the conventional thermodynamic development to include the nonclassical dynamics of a dense gas-and for the first time explains why expansion shock waves cannot exist. ... one of the very few texts that even mentions the 'nonclassical' behavior of certain dense gases."
-Brian Argrow, Department Aerospace Engineering Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder
