It WAS for Civil Engineering and it was 30 years ago. FEA was JUST starting to be a thing and it sure didn't reach down into anything I encountered.
looking back through the google, I may be dimly remembering the calculations dealing with turbulent flow. It was a whole different experience to a College Junior that was used to the relatively simple equations from Physics, Statics and Dynamics.
- semi-extrinsic 7y agoSounds like the standard way to teach fluids for civ.eng. All the flows you'll ever encounter will be turbulent, no point in learning about all the beautiful results that are mainly for laminar flows. The books I mentioned are classics in the field and were first published in 1895 and 1967, respectively. Both are still in print. No computers, just advanced math (vector calculus etc).
