{"product_id":"laminar-drag-reduction-keizo-watanabe-9781681080857","title":"Laminar Drag Reduction","description":"The phenomenon of resistance to motion through a fluid is believed to be a function of fluid-wall interaction. This theory is based on the assumption that under certain conditions a real fluid does not usually slip on the wall in contact with it and displays laminar flow. This set of conditions is known as a 'no slip boundary condition'. But if a fluid is passed alongside a wall, the drag reduction in the laminar flow region can be calculated. In Laminar Drag Reduction, the frictional drag of an internal or an external fluid flow along a certain kind of hydrophobic wall is investigated. An analytic approach towards the mechanism of drag reduction is employed using Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness equations. The experimental results presented in this book show that frictional drag of a fluid alongside this hydrophobic wall decreases in comparison with fluid flow along a conventional wall or surface. This form of laminar drag reduction represents a relatively new area of research, where the laminar flow can be controlled by microscopic surface modifications, allowing fluid flows to slip over a wall. Laminar Drag Reduction brings information about some interesting phenomena related to fluid slippage on a highly water-repellent surface. Readers, physics graduates and senior researchers alike, can benefit from the information presented in this book to tackle more challenging questions in fluid mechanics research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keizo Watanabe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681080850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681080857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bentham Science Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Keizo Watanabe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200865943807,"sku":"9781681080857","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_27e5feef-7f6b-47b2-9c54-9408dcdf9251.jpg?v=1756788060","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/laminar-drag-reduction-keizo-watanabe-9781681080857","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
