Theoretical and Computational Fluid Mechanics

by Terry E. Moschandreou (Author), Keith Afas (Author), Khoa Nguyen (Author) 

Theoretical and Computational Fluid Mechanics: Existence, Blow-up, and Discrete Exterior Calculus Algorithms centralizes the main and current topics in theoretical and applied fluid dynamics at the intersection of a mathematical and non-mathematical environment. The book is accessible to anyone with a basic level of understanding of fluid dynamics and yet still engaging for those of a deeper understanding.

The book is aimed at theorists and applied mathematicians from a wide range of scientific fields, including the social, health, and physical sciences. It provides a step-by-step guide to the construction of solutions of both elementary and open problems of viscous and non-viscous models, and for the applications of such models for the functional analysis and real analysis of data.

Features

• Offers a self-contained treatment that does not require a previous background in fluid dynamics.
• Suitable as a reference text for graduate students, researchers, and professionals, and could easily be used as a teaching resource.
• Provides various examples using Maple, Mathematica, and to a lesser extent Matlab programming languages.
