Book Description
Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids, Second Edition continues to provide thorough coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle motion in non-Newtonian media. The book demonstrates how dynamic behavior of single particles can yield useful information for modeling transport processes in complex multiphase flows. Completely revised and expanded, this second edition covers macroscopic momentum and heat/mass transfer from a single rigid or fluid particle or ensembles of particles involving strong inter-particle interactions including packed beds, fluidized beds, and porous media with different types of non-Newtonian fluids. It reflects advances made since the publication of the previous, bestselling edition with new material on topics such as extensional flow; time-independent, time-dependent and visco-elastic fluids; free settling behavior of non-spherical particles; and particle motion in visco-elastic and visco-plastic fluids, boundary layer flows, flows in porous media, and falling object rheometry. An excellent reference and handbook dealing with the technological aspects of non-Newtonian materials encountered in nature and in technology, this book highlights qualitative differences between the response of a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in the complex flows encountered in processing applications.
Book Description
This comprehensive introduction to the mathematical theory of vorticity and incompressible flow begins with the elementary introductory material and leads into current research topics. While the book centers on mathematical theory, many parts also showcase the interaction among rigorous mathematical theory, numerical, asymptotic, and qualitative simplified modeling, and physical phenomena. The first half forms an introductory graduate course on vorticity and incompressible flow. The second half comprises a modern applied mathematics graduate course on the weak solution theory for incompressible flow.

Book Description
Gaskinetic Theory is an introductory text on the molecular theory of gases and on modern transport theory suitable for upper division undergraduates in physics and first year graduate students in aerospace engineering, upper atmospheric science and space research. The first part introduces basic concepts, including the distribution function, classical theory of specific heats, binary collisions, mean free path, and reaction rates. Transport theory is used to express coefficients such as viscosity and heat conductivity in terms of molecular properties. The second part of the book covers advanced transport theory. Generalized transport equations are derived from the Boltzmann equation. The Chapman-Enskog and the Grad methods are discussed to obtain higher order transport equations for low density gases. The aerodynamics of solid bodies is explored and the book concludes with the kinetic description of shock waves.
Book Description
This textbook provides a thorough introduction to Newtonian Mechanics and is intended for university students in physics, astronomy and engineering. It is based on a course for which Dr. Knudsen earned an award for the best teaching at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. More than 100 problems with solutions and 89 worked examples help the student to grasp the essential aspects of the subject, and to develop proficiency in using the powerful methods of Newtonian mechanics. Moreover, the fundamental problem of motion and the concept of inertial frames is faced from the very beginning, and runs through the entire development of classical mechanics. This new and fresh approach is presented in its third edition, which has been revised and enlarged.

Based On An Award-Winning Course In Mechanics.......2002-07-01
This is the best book on introductory Newtonian mechanics that I've read. The examples aren't shown just for "plug-and-chug" purposes as in many others; the authors use them to further develop an idea. As such, each example is important, and there are several. Each exercise is also useful in a way that many undergraduate mechanics exercises aren't. The authors also in their prose express a passion for the subject--always appreciated, and sometimes humorous. [My favorite example is on page 359 of the paperback version. Near the top of the page, following a discussion of Newton's law of universal gravitation: "The greatest achievement in the history of man was completed."]
Outstanding. The best book on Newtonian mechanics available........1998-12-13
I own dozens of books on the subject and this is by far my favorite. It is clearly written with a fine selection of problems. An excellent supplement to this book is THE VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF MECHANICS by Lanczos. I highly recommend these two books for a firm understanding of classical mechanics.
Book Description
The book deals with the resurgence of nineteenth century electromagnetism in physics and electrical engineering. It describes a series of important experiments, and new technologies based on these experiments, which cannot be explained by and analyzed with the modern relativistic electrodynamics of the twentieth century. The Newtonian electrodynamics of Coulomb, Ampere, Neumann, and Kirchhoff, which was current from 1750 to 1900, is fully reviewed and greatly extended to deal with contemporary research on exploding wires, railguns and other electromagnetic accelerators, jet propulsion in liquid metals, arc plasma explosions, capillary fusion, and lightning phenomena. Much of the book is based on the atomic definition of the Amperian current element. Finite element techniques for solving many electrodynamic problems are described.

You don't want to rely on the Graneau's to teach you physics..........2006-10-27
The authors of this book are in love with Newton's work and are suspicious of Einstein's theories. They are entitled to having preferences - although these may be due more to stubborness/narrow-mindedness than to critical thinking - but one would expect that at least they would teach and use Newton's theories correctly, which is not even the case! I will explain myself below.
In particular, I am quite familiar with the material of chapters 6 and 7 of this book (the parts that relate to underwater sparks and the authors' claim about having discovered "free" energy in this process). The basis for their excess energy claim is the large inferred water velocity in their experiments on underwater sparks. They estimate this water velocity via the rigid-body collision method taught in first year college physics classes which makes use of Newton's second law and the principle of conservation of momentum. The problem is that they assume that there are no external forces acting on the system constituted of the water and the "projectile" that it accelerates. This is wrong since the water is in contact with the high-pressure plasma created by the spark which is in turn confined between the water and the container in which the experiment is done. The reactive force between the water and the plasma and/or between the water and the container is not zero and is external to the system they chose to analyze, therefore this force should be included in their calculation of the water velocity. Since their mistake amounts to attributing all the momentum resulting from this large external force to the water's momentum, they grossly overestimated the water velocity.
Since these authors can't be relied on to do basic college level Newtonian mechanics properly, I don't think they could be relied on for more complex physics concepts either...
The authors mention Oxford and Northeastern University as their affiliations, but the Oxford position of Neal Graneau is that of a research assistant (not a professor, not a PhD, not even a Master's) and the Northeastern University's website says nothing about Peter Graneau, who may very well hold a very insignificant position there...

Wonderful book.......2002-07-30
Hello,
I must agree with the first review. This book was wonderful, and really started me on my way in physics (as I write this I am in the process of finishing up my thesis, and thus my Ph.D in physics). The presentation of material was quite clear, and the appendicies on various approximation methods was quite useful. This was the first book I used that really drove home the methodology of physics, namely, not being afraid to make approximations when appropriate. There are very few exactly solvable problems, and even fewer of much interest, and "the art of physics" is to tackle the messy, seemingly intractable ones. This book does much in preparing the student for such an endevor. Thank you Ralph Baielein for writing such a useful book.
A good intermediate level text.......2001-03-13
I think that this book provides an attractive answer to the question what purpose should an intermediate level course on Classical Mechanics serve? Introduce the reader to the ''Art of the Physicist''. A course on Classical Mechanics (where students are already familiar with most of the basic physical concepts) is an appropriate choice of vehicle to this end.
Baierlein's book does as good a job of instructing one in the ''Art of the Physicist'' as can be expected of any text. He tackles systems of genuine physical interest (in which attention to orders of magnitude is important), makes extensive use of (generally applicable) approximate methods of solution and does not shy away from discussing qualitative lines of argumentation (such as dimensional analysis). He has also developed an essential adjunct to a text of this kind, namely a fairly extensive collection (unusual in books on Classical Mechanics at this level) of original and sometimes challenging problems. Not content with his efforts in the body of the book, the author even takes the brave step of attempting to delineate the ''Art of the Physicist'' in an appendix. Despite the unconventional character of his book, Baierlein is careful to cover all the topics usually found in intermediate level texts on Classical Mechanics.
Those who want to be guided in detail through every step of a calculation will not enjoy this book and those who want more than a passing introduction to the Langrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of Classical Mechanics will have to look elsewhere (the book ''Introduction to Dynamics'' by I. Percival and D. Richards, although not designed for physicists, is a wonderfully succint, clear and pragmatic presentation). However, even for those ultimately more interested in such formal developments, Baierlein's book is a good place to start if only to whet the appetite. (As the title suggests, those interested in Special Relativity will also have to look elsewhere.)
Perhaps conscious that the best physicists can make physics seem effortless, Baierlein's touch throughout the book is deliberately light. This makes the book eminently readable, but does have its drawbacks. There are no messy comparisons between the predictions of models and experimental data. Surely much of the ''Art of the Physicist'' is necessitated by the fact that tractable models are invariably imperfect descriptions of reality? The reader should be given a chance to develop an appreciation of when a model is adequate or should be improved upon (if at all possible). Also, although Baierlein introduces Lagrangian formalism early (in chapter 4), he does not make any reference to it in subsequent chapters. Admittedly he has entitled his book ''Newtonian Dynamics'', but a brief if somewhat technical comparison between Newtonian and Lagrangian treatments of, for example, Central Forces and Non-Inertial Frames (dealt with in chapter 5 and 6, respectively) would serve to bring out the elegance of the Lagrangian approach. Choosing the technique best suited to the task at hand and cross-checking results obtained by one method by rederiving them with another are among the arts of a physicist.
Good texts on physics are few and far between. This is one of them. I hope that one day Professor Baierlein returns to this book to embellish it further. I would be interested to see how he treats the topic of deterministic chaos.
Anachronic book.......1999-10-23
I could not agree more with the previous two reviewers. We are probably talking about the worst mechanics book in the market. There are big gaps in the logic, no clear motivations for the steps taken toward any result. To understand this book, the student basically has to write the other half of it: the mathematics and the explanations. Avoid this book by all means.
Flakey and Incomplete.......1999-10-10
I entirely agree with the previous reviewer. I'm currently using this book for my mechanics course and I find the text inadequate as a learning tool. In fact, I am currently looking for another book to supplement the missing ideas, explanations and concepts. My recommendation is to avoid this book if possible.
Dull, uninspired, and incomplete.......1998-10-06
Its been a while since I have used the text, but my recollections (and those of all of my peers) are that it was, in general, a very poor text. Many topics have large holes in their explanations, the examples are weak, and the problems are generally more challenging than the level of an undergraduate Classical Dynamics class requires.

Book Description
Computational Rheology for Pipeline and Annular Flow develops and applies modern analytical and computational finite difference methods for solving flow problems in drilling and production. It also provides valuable insights into flow assurance analysis in subsea pipeline design. Using modeling techniques that simulate the motion of non-Newtonian fluids, e.g., power law, Bingham plastic, and Herschel-Bulkley flows, this book presents proven annular flow methodologies for cuttings transport and stuck pipe analysis based on detailed experimental data obtained from highly deviated and horizontal wells. These methods are applied for highly eccentric borehole geometries to the design of pipeline bundles in subsea applications, where such annular configurations arise in velocity and thermal modeling applications.
Also covered extensively are the design and modeling of pipelines having non-circular cross-sections, where deviations from ideal circular geometries arise from plugging due to wax deposition and the presence of hydrates and asphaltenes. As in the case of annular flows, the new algorithms apply to fluids with general rheological description; for example, the methods show very precisely how flow rate and pressure gradient vary nonlinearly in practical problem situations.
* Includes Windows-based software that contains highly integrated, user-friendly color-graphics algorithms (available via the Gulf Professional Publishing website at www.gulfpp.com)
* Provides valuable insights into flow assurance analysis.
* Contains new algorithms on annular flows and fluids with general rheological descriptions supply solutions to practical problems.
