Fluid and Thermodynamics

Fluid mechanics and thermodynamics are explored as interconnected disciplines, beginning with an analysis of creeping motion around stationary spheres. Key theories such as Stokes flows and the Oseen correction are discussed, alongside 3D creeping flows and granular avalanches. The text highlights the transition to turbulence modeling and the significance of non-locality in turbulence closure schemes. Thermodynamics is covered through the first and second laws, emphasizing entropy and dissipation. The book concludes with dimensional analysis and practical experiments, providing a comprehensive understanding of these fields.
