Fluid mechanics for petroleum engineers / Гидромеханика для инженеров-нефтяников

Fluid mechanics forms an essential part of the knowledge of petroleum engineers. Its applications can be found in almost every area of petroleum engineering including drilling, well completing, production technology, transportation and refining. The design methods and everyday practice of these special fields apply their own application-oriented hydraulics. These independently developed branches of applied fluid mechanics are often not very well integrated. There seems to be a need to treat these individual sections together within the general framework of continuum mechanics. In addition, the elegance and logical structure of this theory may influence the way of thinking of petroleum engineers. <...>
