Synopsis

Explore the foundational math behind fluid motion and how forces shape moving liquids.

This classic work presents the equations of motion for fluids, both in Eulerian and Lagrangian forms, and develops the theory from first principles. It guides readers through irrotational motion, two‑dimensional and three‑dimensional flows, energy and impulse, and the dynamics of solids moving through liquids. A rich sequence of exercises and applications helps turn theory into problem‑solving skill.

Readers will find a careful treatment of topics such as velocity potential, stream functions, Green’s theorem, and kinetic energy, with attention to practical examples like vortex motion, waves in liquids and air, and viscosity. The text builds a rigorous framework while linking abstract results to measurable effects in real fluids.

• Foundational forms of the hydrokinetic equations and how to apply them to moving bodies in a fluid


• Methods for coupling solid and fluid dynamics into a single dynamical system


• Techniques for kinetic energy and impulse calculations in fluid problems


• Applications to vortices, waves, and viscous effects with worked examples

Ideal for students and professionals in physics and engineering seeking a deep, formal understanding of fluid motion.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
