Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics

Descripción

Fluid and thermodynamics (FTD) are generally taught at technical universities as separate subjects and this separation can be justified simply by reasons of the assigned time; the elements of each subject can be introduced within a semester of *15 weeks. Most likely, these outer educational boundaries may even have well furthered this separation. Intellectually, the two subjects, however, belong together, especially since for all but ideal fluids the second law of thermodynamics imposes constraint conditions on the parameters of the governing equations (generally partial differential equations) that are then used in the fluid dynamic part of the joint effort to construct solutions to physically motivated initial boundary value problems that teach us important facts of the behavior of the motion of the fluid under certain circumstances.
