This is a modern and elegant introduction to engineering fluid
mechanics enriched with numerous examples, exercises, and
applications. It is based on Faith Morrison's vision that flows are
both beautiful and complex. A swollen creek tumbles over rocks and
through crevasses, swirling and foaming. Taffy can be stretched,
reshaped, and twisted in various ways. Both the water and the taffy
are fluids and their motions are governed by the laws of nature.
The goal of this textbook is to introduce the reader to the
analysis of flows using the laws of physics and the language of
mathematics. This text delves deeply into the mathematical analysis
of flows, because knowledge of the patterns fluids form and why
they are formed and the stresses fluids generate and why they are
generated is essential to designing and optimizing modern systems
and devices. Inventions such as helicopters and lab-on-a-chip
reactors would never have been designed without the insight brought
by mathematical models.
