Aims and Scope of the Series
The purpose of this series is to focus on subjects in which fluid mechanics plays a funda-
mental 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 hy-
personic flows and numerical modelling 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 transmit force, therefore
fluid mechanics is a subject that is particulary open to crossfertilisation with other scien-
ces 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 mono-
graphs defining the current state of a field; others are accessible to final year undergradu-
ates; but essentially the emphasis is on readability and clarity.
