An Introduction to the Mechanics of Incompressible Fluids Deville Michel O.
This open access book allows the reader to grasp the main bulk of fluid flow problems at a brisk pace. Some exact solutions for transient and steady-state cases in Cartesian and axisymmetric coordinates are proposed. Starting with the basic concepts of conservation laws developed using continuum mechanics, the incompressibility of a fluid is explained and modeled, leading to the famous Navier-Stokes equation that governs the dynamics of fluids.
Irrotational flows are treated by introducing complex variables. A particular set of examples is associated with creeping or Stokes flows, where viscosity is the dominant physical phenomenon. The use of the conformal mapping and the Joukowski transformation allows the treatment of the flow around an airfoil.
The boundary layer theory corrects the earlier approach with the Prandtl equations, their solution for the case of a flat plate, and the
