Author Description

By Shih-I. Pai. ISBN 0-442-20075-7. From the front flap: "With both the microscopic and the macroscopic approaches, the author discussec all the basic properties of fluids from a wide range of speeds, temperature, and environments. He considers many important interactions of fluid flow with other physical phenomena such as chemical reaction, electromagnetic field, and radiative transfer. He also treats many fluid flows in which the classical concepts of fluid mechanicc are not valid such as rarefied gasdynamics, non-Newtonian fluid, two-phase flows, relativistic fluid mechanics, Gaussian fluid mechanics, and biofluid mechanics."
