DESCRIPTION:
Second, each chapter treats the physical aspects of the problems so the student can visualize how things work in the real world. The result is a superb learning and teaching process that covers everything the engineer needs to know — nature of fluids, hydrostatics, differential and integral equations, dimensional analysis, viscous flows, and other topics — while allowing students to see each element in its relation to the whole.Each chapter contains numerous examples incorporating problem-solving techniques, demonstrations to illustrate topical material, study questions, boxed equations of significant results, appropriate references to supplementary materials and other study aids. "The mixture of prose, mathematics, and beautiful illustrations is particularly well chosen." — American ScientistThis monumental text by a noted authority in the field is specially designed to provide an orderly structured introduction to fluid mechanics, a field all too often seen by students as an amorphous mass of disparate equations instead of the coherent body of theory and application it should be. Third, the text represents the physical model by appropriate mathematical symbols and operators, collects these into equations, and then solves them. This volume
Fluid Mechanics (Dover Classics of Science and Mathematics) This is an excellent book on Fluid Mechanics. It covers all the important topics that both students and practitioners are likely to encounter. Notably, the structure of the book is very logical in that it starts with the fundermentals upon which the more advanced topics are successively built. Three key features of this book are especially outstanding: 1) provision of many worked examples thr. "Great book, great price" according to Mr. P. I love this book!I borrowed it from a coworker and ended up ordering a copy for myself. The writing is clear and concise, but not too brief, making the book very understandable and useful for self-teaching.Also, as an undergraduate student, I'm on a tight budget after purchasing my regular college textbooks, but this one is quite reasonably priced. Probably the best $20 a mechanical engineeri. Jason Dowd said A Good Introduction. This book is an engineering oriented introduction to fluid mechanics. It requires a good background in elementary classical mechanics meaning a strong understanding of Newton's formulation of mechanics and the treatment of non-inertial reference systems. It also requires a background in vector calculus at least at the level of Div, Grad, Curl, and All That: An Informal Text on Vector Calculus
