Fluid mechanics and hydraulics
by Liu, Cheng, Evett, Jack B., Giles, Ranald V., Giles, Ranald V.
This book provides concise descriptions of the various solutions of transition curves, which can be used in geometric design of roads and highways. It presents mathematical methods and curvature functions for defining transition curves.
Fundamentals of hydrodynamic bearings -- Governing equations for dynamic analysis -- Conventional methods on system instability analysis -- Introduction to hopf bifurcation theory (HBT) -- Application of HBT to fluid-film bearings -- Analysis of thermohydrodynamic instability.
Presents comprehensive coverage of thermohydrodynamic instability for improved performance and reliability of rotating machinery. This book is dedicated to answering these questions by exposing recent research results that combine expertise in tribology, fluids, mechanics, therm…
The ability to predict the movement of cohesive sediment within coastal, estuarine or inland waters has a significant economical and ecological importance in the development of new engineering works and the maintenance of existing installations. This work includes the main proce…
This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations used extensively in geotechnical engineering. Empirical correlations play a key role in geotechnical engineering designs and analysis. Laboratory and in situ testing of soils can add significant cost to a civi…
