Overview

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.

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

Lu, University of Texas at Arlington Analytical Fluid Dynamics, 3rd Ed. is a must-have reference useful for a variety of advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in fluid dynamics, and more specialized courses in aerodynamics. The scope and in-depth coverage of topics is unique in contemporary fluid mechanics literature. With increasing emphasis on computational methods in research and industrial applications, the greatest value of Analytical Fluid Dynamics for those communities is twofold: 1) mathematically elegant analyses that expand physical insight into basic concepts and the development of advanced fluid-flow theory, and 2) analytical solutions of complex flow phenomena that can be used to verify CFD methods and codes. Examples include chapters devoted to sweep, the substitution principle, calorically imperfect flows, and supersonic diffusers that can be found nowhere else. Particularly relevant for high-speed aerodynamics and CFD are chapters presenting a general approach to shock waves and related phenomena that include their structure, vorticity generation, and downstream flow derivatives. A chapter on thermodynamics discusses the use of a potential function for CFD that is consistent with the modelling of real gas flows that produce rarefaction shock waves. Additional chapters are devoted to one-dimensional flows, a force and momentum analysis, and first-and-second-order boundary-layer theory. In keeping with the analytical approach, appendices cover vector and tensor analysis, Jacobian theory (useful for transforming thermodynamic derivatives and transforming fluid dynamic equations), and characteristic theory for the solution of first-order PDEs. Illustrative examples are included throughout that show stepwise development of theory and application to relevant problems. -Brian Argrow, Department Aerospace Engineering Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder
