The Pi-Theorem Applications to Fluid Mechanics and Heat and Mass Transfer

The Pi-Theorem Applications to Fluid Mechanics and Heat and Mass Transfer / by L.P. Yarin.

This volume presents applications of the Pi-Theorem to fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer. The Pi-theorem yields a physical motivation behind many flow processes and therefore it constitutes a valuable tool for the intelligent planning of experiments in fluids. After a short introduction to...
