About the Book

Fluid dynamics is the engineering science dealing with forces and energies generated by fluids in motion. Fluid dynamics and hydrodynamics play a vital role in everyday life. Practical examples include the flow motion in the kitchen sink, the exhaust fan above the stove, and the air conditioning system in our home. When driving a car, the air flow

About the Author :
Hubert CHANSON received a degree of 'Ingénieur Hydraulicien' from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Hydraulique et de Mécanique de Grenoble (France) in 1983 and a degree of 'Ingénieur Génie Atomique' from the 'Institut National des Sciences et Techniques Nucléaires' in 1984. He worked for the industry in France as a R&D engineer at the Atomic Energy Commission from 1984 to 1986, and as a computer professional in fluid mechanics for Thomson-CSF between 1989 and 1990. From 1986 to 1988, he studied at the University of Canterbury (New Zealand) as part of a Ph.D. project. Hubert CHANSON is Professor in Hydraulic Engineering and Applied Fluid Mechanics at the University of Queensland since 1990. His research interests include design of hydraulic structures, experimental investigations of two-phase flows, coastal hydrodynamics, water quality modelling, environmental management and natural resources. In 1999 he was awarded a Doctor of Engineering from the University of Queensland for outstanding research achievements in gas-liquid bubbly flows. Hubert CHANSON has been active also as consultant for both governmental agencies and private organisations. He is the main author of six books. Awards received: - The 13th Arthur Ippen award for outstanding achievements in hydraulic engineering (International Association of Hydraulic Engineering & Research) - 2004 award for the best practice paper in the Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering (ASCE-EWRI)    

Review :
"Each chapter contains a collection of worked examples, increasing the value of the book for teaching purposes. The coverage of topics within the book is adequate for undergraduate students, but the clarity of presentation of the theory is so well done that it may serve as a good basic reference for Ph.D. students and researchers." Oscar Castro-Orgaz, Ph.D., Instituto de Agricultura Sostenible, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, Cordoba, Spain. In: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, April 2013, p. 460 "This book merits being read and even studied by a very large spectrum of people who should be able to find it on the shelves of the professional and university libraries that respect themselves." - Jean A. Cunge, Hon. M. IAHR, Societe Hydrotechnique de France, Grenoble, France. In: Journal of Hydraulic Research Vol. 51, No. 1 (2013), pp. 109-110 "[T]he combination of theoretical aspects, perfectly developed, with an applied point of view directly related to engineering and research, is an additional asset which is not found in other books covering the same field." "[T]his book should interest all the students, engineers (beginner or not), researchers and teachers in fluid mechanics whatever their field of predilection. To be strongly recommended." - Dr Frederic Murzyn, ESTACA (France) "This handbook is of excellent quality and is a great addition to the literature on fluid mechanics." "The author made a strong pedagogical effort in writing this book. Without any doubt, it will become a standard work in Fluid Dynamics." - Pierre LUBIN, Assistant Professor, Universite de Bordeaux "This should be recommended reading for anyone contemplating numerical calculations or detailed measurements on real engineering geometries, since this training teaches one what to expect." "[T]his text has a wonderful personal touch, including many illustrations and appendices that spring from the author's love of flows in rivers and seas, of the design of ships and aeroplanes, and of history." - Richard Manasseh, Fluid Dynamics Group "The book contains some historical remarks and a lot of application and exercises. It handles some aspects in more detail than other books of hydrodynamics and is, thereby, a good completion of the flow mechanics literature." - Prof. B. PLATZER in: Z. Angew Math. Mech., 2011, Vol. 91, No. 5, p. 399.
