Aims and Scope of the Series

The purpose of this series is to focus on subjects in which fluid mechanics plays a

fundamental role.

As well as the more traditional applications of aeronautics, hydraulics, heat and mass

transfer etc., books will be published dealing with topics which are currently in a state of

rapid development, such as turbulence, suspensions and multiphase fluids, super and

hypersonic flows and numerical modeling techniques.

It is a widely held view that it is the interdisciplinary subjects that will receive intense

scientific attention, bringing them to the forefront of technological advancement. Fluids

have the ability to transport matter and its properties as well as to transmit force, therefore

fluid mechanics is a subject that is particularly open to cross fertilization with other sciences

and disciplines of engineering. The subject of fluid mechanics will be highly relevant in

domains such as chemical, metallurgical, biological and ecological engineering. This series

is particularly open to such new multidisciplinary domains.

The median level of presentation is the first year graduate student. Some texts are

monographs defining the current state of a field; others are accessible to final year

undergraduates; but essentially the emphasis is on readability and clarity.
