Synopsis

This book gathers ten thermofluid dynamics problems involving the use of analytical solutions. All these problems have been encountered by the author during his research activity; some of the solutions are his own contributions, while others either are classic literature results or can be derived from them. The physical phenomena involved range from pure hydrodynamics to flow with heat or mass transfer, two-phase flow, and magnetohydrodynamics. The problems discussed are not canonical problems; they are rarely found in textbooks, and often exhibit surprising, or even paradoxical, solutions. The potential readership of the book includes students, teachers and scientists in science and engineering interested in fluid dynamics and heat/mass transfer: to them it may offer food for thought, suggestions for lectures or tutorials and ideas for further original developments.

About this title

About the Author

Michele Ciofalo is professor (ret.) of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Palermo, Italy. His most recent research interests have included both fluid dynamics and heat or mass transfer in membrane processes and the modelling and numerical simulation of turbulence by DNS, LES and RANS methods. With Springer he also published the book “Thermofluid Dynamics of Turbulent Flows – Fundamentals and Modelling” (2021).
