The discussion centers on advanced fluid mechanics concepts, specifically focusing on gear pumps and shear-thickening fluid behavior in pipe flows. The participant, czechman45, seeks resources beyond introductory textbooks to deepen their understanding of these topics. A recommended resource is "Transport Phenomena" by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot, which covers essential principles relevant to these advanced fluid mechanics subjects.

czechman45 said:I'm trying to understand some fluids concepts that don't seem to be covered in very much detail in introductory fluid mechanics textbook. Specifically, these topics include pumps (gear pumps mainly) and shear-thickening fluid behavior in pipe flows and in said pumps. Any ideas on good resources to check out?
Thanks
