Near-boundary Fluid Mechanics

Near-boundary Fluid Mechanics by Shu-Qing Yang offers a focused, lucid exploration of the physics that govern flows close to walls and interfaces—where classical theory meets real-world complexity. Ideal for researchers, graduate students, and practicing engineers, this book illuminates the mechanics of boundary layers, near-wall turbulence, shear-driven flows, and interface phenomena with clarity and rigor.

Beginning with foundational concepts and progressing to advanced topics, the text bridges theory and application: Navier–Stokes formulations for near-wall regions, scaling laws, instability and transition mechanisms, and modern numerical and experimental approaches. Case studies span aerospace surface flows, microfluidic devices, lubrication systems, and coastal/environmental boundary interactions, making the content relevant to readers in academia and industry across North America, Europe, and Asia.

Practical insights into modeling strategies and measurement techniques help readers tackle challenging problems in aerodynamic design, energy systems, biomedical microflows, and environmental engineering. The lucid explanations and worked examples aid comprehension without sacrificing scientific depth, while diagrams and clear derivations guide readers through complex concepts.

Whether you need a reference for cutting-edge research or a dependable textbook for advanced courses, Near-boundary Fluid Mechanics equips you with the tools to understand and predict near-wall behavior in engineering and natural systems. Add this authoritative volume by Shu-Qing Yang to your collection to deepen your mastery of boundary-layer theory and its practical applications—order now to advance your research or professional practice.
