Boundary Layer Theory, published in the year 2004, is now in its sixth edition. This hallmark textbook maintains its comprehensive coverage of the subject matter, with the inclusion of the latest developments that have taken place in this field over the years.
The book uses modern numerical methods as well as meticulous details of dimensional variables. In addition to these, it also has many diagrams and experiments. A lot of new information has been added to this edition of Boundary Layer Theory.
The content has been divided into five parts, with a number of chapters within each. The first part is Fundamentals of Viscous Flow. It includes chapters like Some Features of Viscous Flow, Fundamentals of Boundary Layer Theory, and General Properties of the Equations of Motions. Other chapters included in this section are Field Equations for Flows of Newtonian Fluids and Exact Solutions of The Navier-Stokes Equations.
The second part is called Laminar Boundary Layers and the third is Laminar Turbulent Transition. The fourth part concentrates on asymmetrical and three-dimensional turbulent boundary layers, unsteady turbulent boundary layers, and turbulent free shear flows. The section on stability and turbulence has been thoroughly revised in this edition of Boundary Layer Theory. The fifth part has only one chapter, which is titled Numerical Methods of Boundary Layer Theory.
This text is considered extremely useful to students of fluid mechanics. Written in lucid language and filled with examples, Boundary Layer Theory can help readers gain a complete understanding of the subject.ISBN - 9788181281210
