Hydrodynamic Fluctuations in Fluids and Fluid Mixturesby Jose M. Ortiz de Zarate; Jan V. Sengers
Elsevier 2006; US$ 93.95This book deals with density, temperature, velocity and concentration fluctuations in fluids and fluid mixtures. The book first reviews thermal fluctuations in equilibrium fluids on the basis of fluctuating hydrodynamics. It then shows how the method of fluctuating hydrodynamics can be extended to deal with hydrodynamic fluctuations when the system is in a stationary nonequilibrium state. In contrast to equilibrium fluids where the fluctuations are generally short ranged unless the system is close to a critical point, fluctuations in nonequilibrium fluids are always long-ranged encompassing the entire system. The book provides the first comprehensive treatment of fluctuations in fluids and fluid mixtures brought out of equilibrium by the imposition... more...
Hydrodynamics of Free Surface Flowsby Jean-Michel Hervouet
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2007; US$ 145.00A definitive guide for accurate state-of-the-art modelling of free surface flows Understanding the dynamics of free surface flows is the starting point of many environmental studies, impact studies, and waterworks design. Typical applications, once the flows are known, are water quality, dam impact and safety, pollutant control, and sediment transport. These studies used to be done in the past with scale models, but these are now being replaced by numerical simulation performed by software suites called “hydro-informatic systems”. The Telemac system is the leading software package worldwide, and has been developed by Electricité de France and Jean-Michel Hervouet, who is the head and main developer of the Telemac project.... more...
Transport Coefficients of Fluidsby Byung Chan Eu
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 219.00Presents and applies methods based on statistical mechanics for calculating the transport coefficients of simple and complex liquids over wide ranges of density and temperature. These molecular theories enable the transport coefficients to be calculated in term of equilibrium thermodynamic properties. more...

Convection in Fluidsby Rh.K. Zeytounian
Springer 2009; US$ 159.00Aims to present a unified rational approach of various convective phenomena in fluids (mainly considered as a thermally perfect gas or an expansible liquid), where the main driving mechanism is the buoyancy force (Archimedean thrust) or temperature-dependent surface tension in homogeneities (Marangoni effect). more...
