ADVANCED TRANSPORT PHENOMENA
Advanced Transport Phenomena is ideal as a graduate textbook. It contains a
detailed discussion of modern analytic methods for the solution of fluid mechanics
and heat and mass transfer problems, focusing on approximations based on scaling
and asymptotic methods, beginning with the derivation of basic equations and
boundary conditions and concluding with linear stability theory. Also covered are
unidirectional flows, lubrication and thin-film theory, creeping flows, boundary-
layer theory, and convective heat and mass transport at high and low Reynolds
numbers. The emphasis is on basic physics, scaling and nondimensionalization,
and approximations that can be used to obtain solutions that are due either to
geometric simplifications, or large or small values of dimensionless parameters.
The author emphasizes setting up problems and extracting as much information as
possible short of obtaining detailed solutions of differential equations. The book
also focuses on the solutions of representative problems. This reflects the author’s
bias toward learning to think about the solution of transport problems.
L. Gary Leal is professor of chemical engineering at the University of California
in Santa Barbara. He also holds positions in the Materials Department and in
the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He has taught at UCSB since 1989.
Before that, from 1970 to 1989 he taught in the chemical engineering department at
Caltech. His current research interests are focused on fluid mechanics problems for
complex fluids, as well as the dynamics of bubbles and drops in flow, coalescence,
thin-film stability, and related problems in rhcology. In 1987, he was elected to the
National Academy of Engineering. His research and teaching have been recognized
by a number of awards, including the Dreyfus Foundation Teacher-Scholar Award
