Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Applied Continuum Mechanics for Thermo-Fluids presents the tensor notation rules and integral theorems before defining the preliminary concepts and applications of continuum mechanics. It bridges the gap between physical concepts and mathematical expressions with a rigorous mathematical treatment. After discussing fundamental concepts of continuum mechanics, the text explains basic subjects such as the Stokes hypothesis, the second coefficient of viscosity, non-Newtonian fluids, non-symmetric stress tensor, and the full Navier-Stokes equation.

With coverage of interdisciplinary topics, the book highlights issues such as relativistic fluid mechanics, stochastic mechanics, fractional calculus, nanoscale fluid mechanics, polar fluids, electrodynamics, and traffic flows. It describes fundamental concepts of vorticity dynamics, including the definition of vorticity and circulation, with corresponding balance equations and related theorems.

This text is intended for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate mechanical, chemical, aerospace, civil engineering, and physics students taking continuum mechanics, advanced fluid mechanics, convective heat transfer, turbulence, or any other similar courses. In addition, this book can be an excellent resource for scientists who want to initiate research on topics related to thermo-fluids.

Instructors will be able to utilize a Solutions Manual and Figure Slides for their courses.

The eBook+ version includes the following enhancements:

Videos placed throughout the text containing further explanation of key topics Multiple-choice quizzes to reinforce readers' understanding of physical concepts

Dr. Jafar Ghazanfarian has been an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Zanjan since 2016, and he has taught continuum mechanics for 5 years. He holds a PhD and MSc degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnics) and a Bachelor degree of Science in Mechanical Engineering (thermo-fluids) from University of Tehran. Dr. Ghazanfarian has published about 40 papers in high-quality WOS-indexed journals and 2 book chapters. He has also served as referee for a wide range of prestigious journals. He has reviewed over 180 manuscripts to date. His publications have collected 1080 citations with the h-index of 20 and i10-index of 31 based on the database of GoogleScholar (November 2023). He is the chair of the “Complex Heat and Flow Simulation (CHFS)” research group, which currently works on non-Fourier models, nanoscale heat transport, modern computational fluid dynamics, moving boundary problems, machine learning tools in mechanical engineering, biological thermos-fluids, and renewable energies. He has recorded over 750 hours of free educational videos on different topics of mechanical engineering (in Persian and English). Dr. Ghazanfarian is the winner of “Prof. Kazemi Ashtiani’s scholarship award” from Iranian national elite’s committee, Sentinels of Science Award (medal of excellence in peer review), and top peer reviewer based on Publons’ database.

Reviews for Applied Continuum Mechanics for Thermo-Fluids

“This is one of the few textbooks on continuum mechanics with a primary focus on thermal sciences. It has a brief but complete review of the preliminary concepts in Chapters 1 and 2, followed by the mathematical description of conservation laws of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids in Chapters 3 and 4. I especially recommend chapter 6 on complementary topics that covers various aspects of fluid dynamics including porous media, multiphase flows, and some relatively non-conventional new approaches, such as fractional and stochastic mechanics. This textbook is recommended for researchers and graduate students in thermal science and for instructors of graduate courses in advanced fluid mechanics, convective heat and mass transfer, and multiphase flows.” -- Bamdad Lessani, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
