Produktbeschreibung
Boundary Layer Theory is a comprehensive introduction to the physics of the boundary layer, and the latest numerical methods for describing it. The increases in computing power of recent decades have expanded our capability to investigate complex fluid phenomena such as boundary layer turbulence, and research in this field has lead to important advances for aerospace, chemical, thermal, and hydraulic engineering among other areas. With worked examples and problem exercises in every chapter, this book helps readers to understand the physics of the boundary layer before going through the related numerical solutions, and moving on to the latest numerical methods as they are used in research globally. Topical research areas such as non-Newtonian fluid-boundary layers, effects of magnetohydrodynamics on boundary layers, and three dimensional boundary layer effects are all addressed, making this the ideal starting point for any fluids engineer approaching a research topic in boundary layer.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Rama Gorla is currently employed as Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. Prior to this, he worked as Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Fenn Distinguished Research Professor at Cleveland State University. He received the Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Toledo. His primary research areas are combustion, heat transfer and fluid dynamics. He worked as a turbomachinery design engineer at Teledyne Continental Motors Turbine Engines (TCM-TE) in Toledo, Ohio and as a design engineer of the aerothermodynamics of rotating machinery at Chrysler Corporation in Highland Park, Michigan. Dr. Gorla co-authored two text books: Turbomachinery published by Marcel & Dekker Company in 2003 and Advanced Differential Equations published by Studera Press in 2016. NASA, AFRL and local industry have sponsored his research. He is the recipient of two Distinguished Faculty awards from Cleveland State University, the first for research in 1999 and the second for teaching in 2004. He was given the Teaching Excellence Award from the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education in 2004. He received the Distinguished Technical Educator Award from the Cleveland Technical Societies Council in May 2006. Professor Gorla is a Fellow of ASME.
