Fluid Mechanics Including Fluids and Viscosity (Paperback)


Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids and the forces on them. Fluids include liquids, gases, and plasmas. Fluid mechanics can be divided into fluid kinematics, the study of fluid motion, and fluid dynamics, the study of the effect of forces on fluid motion, which can further be divided into fluid statics, the study of fluids at rest, fluid kinetics, and the study of fluids in motion. It is a branch of continuum mechanics, a subject which models matter without using the information that it is made out of atoms, that is, it models matter from a macroscopic viewpoint rather than from a microscopic viewpoint. Fluid mechanics, especially fluid dynamics, is an active field of research with many unsolved or partly solved problems. This book studies fluid mechanics including surface tension, Navier-Stokes equations, fluid dynamics, drag, shear stress, and shear rate. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
