This book presents the physics of incompressible flow for the benefit of students and others who need to understand fluid motion. In this new edition, much of the material is new or rewritten, but the purpose and style of the first edition are retained. Particular emphasis is given to information obtained by experiment and observation in addition to analysis of the equations of motion. The book's primary concern is to convey a fundamental understanding of the behavior of fluids in motion. Special features include an introductory non-mathematical treatment of three particular flow configurations; extensive consideration of geophysical topics; and detailed coverage of topics that are known primarily through experimental data. Numerous photographs illustrate the phenomena discussed, and a concluding chapter demonstrates the wide applicability of fluid mechanics. New topics in the second edition include double diffusive convection and modern ideas about dynamical chaos. The discussion of instabilities has been restructured and the treatments of separation and of convection in horizontal layers considerably expanded.

Condition: Fair. : Este libro presenta la física del flujo incompresible para estudiantes y cualquier persona que necesite comprender el movimiento de fluidos. En esta nueva edición, se ha reescrito o añadido nuevo material, pero se conserva el propósito y el estilo de la primera edición. Se hace especial hincapié en la información obtenida mediante experimentos y observaciones, además del análisis de las ecuaciones de movimiento. La principal preocupación del libro es transmitir una comprensión fundamental del comportamiento de los fluidos en movimiento. Las características especiales incluyen un tratamiento introductorio no matemático de tres configuraciones de flujo particulares, una amplia consideración de temas geofísicos y una cobertura detallada de temas que se conocen principalmente a través de datos experimentales. Numerosas fotografías ilustran los fenómenos discutidos, y un capítulo final demuestra la amplia aplicabilidad de la mecánica de fluidos. Los nuevos temas de la segunda edición incluyen la convección doble difusiva y las ideas modernas sobre el caos dinámico. La discusión sobre las inestabilidades se ha reestructurado y los tratamientos de la separación y de la convección en capas horizontales se han ampliado considerablemente.
