This text is intended for the study of fluid mechanics at an
intermediate level. The presentation starts with basic concepts, in
order to form a sound conceptual structure that can support
engineering applications and encourage further learning. The
presentation is exact, incorporating both the mathematics involved
and the physics needed to understand the various phenomena in fluid
mechanics. Where a didactical choice must be made between the two,
the physics prevails. Throughout the book the authors have tried to
reach a balance between exact presentation, intuitive grasp of new
ideas, and creative applications of concepts. This approach is
reflected in the examples presented in the text and in the
exercises given at the end of each chapter. Subjects treated are
hydrostatics, viscous flow, similitude and order of magnitude,
creeping flow, potential flow, boundary layer flow, turbulent flow,
compressible flow, and non-Newtonian flows. This book is ideal for
advanced undergraduate students in mechanical, chemical, aerospace,
and civil engineering. Solutions manual available.
