Mathematical methods and fluid mechanics: Block 4 - Open University Course Team

Block 4 returns to applications of the mathematics to fluid flows.Unit 12 Water waves uses some of the theory developed in Block 3 to investigate various types of water wave, and discusses several practical examples of these waves.Unit 13 Boundary layers and turbulence looks at the effects of turbulence (chaotic fluid flow) and at the nature of boundary layers within a flow, introducing models to describe these phenomena.Please note this book refers to the use of other materials, therefore you are advised that you may also need to purchase the Audio CD Pack (order code MST326/CDAPACK)
