    Book description

    This book describes the analysis and behaviour of internal flows encountered in propulsion systems, fluid machinery (compressors, turbines and pumps) and ducts (diffusers, nozzles and combustion chambers). The focus is on phenomena that are important in setting the performance of a broad range of fluid devices. The authors show that even for complex processes one can learn a great deal about the behaviour of such devices from a clear understanding and rigorous use of basic principles. Throughout the book they illustrate theoretical principles by reference to technological applications. The strong emphasis on fundamentals, however, means that the ideas presented can be applied beyond internal flow to other types of fluid motion. The book equips students and practising engineers with a range of new analytical tools. These tools offer enhanced interpretation and application of both experimental measurements and the computational procedures that characterize modern fluids engineering.

    Reviews

    '… this book is a refreshing experience … the distinct perspective that the authors bring to the subject will be appreciated by all readers. … the book is a must for all graduate students and will appeal to researchers entering the field of turbomachinery. It will serve well students on courses where the subject is taught. The book, due to its clear presentation of fundamentals and the key examples from applications, may also be of instructional value to students on general fluid mechanics courses.'

    'This book provides an authoritative compilation of knowledge relating to internal flows … The book is well and clearly written with clear derivation of the equations … the overall impression of this book is of a thorough presentation, carefully written and illustrated, and providing a very good starting point for the exploration of questions relating to internal flows.'
