Handbook of Research for Fluid and Solid Mechanics Theory, Simulation, and Experiment

This valuable volume provides a broad understanding of the main computational techniques used for processing reclamation of fluid and solid mechanics. The aim of these computational techniques is to reduce and eliminate the risks of mechanical systems failure in hydraulic machines. Using many computational methods for mechanical engineering problems, the book presents not only a platform for solving problems but also provides a wealth of information to address various technical aspects of troubleshooting of mechanical system failure.The focus of the book is on practical and realistic fluids engineering experiences. Many photographs and figures are included, especially to illustrate new design applications and new instruments.
