Abstract:
Fluid Mechanics, understanding and applying the principles of how
motions and forces act upon fluids such as gases and liquids, is introduced
and comprehensively covered in this widely adopted text. This book 'Fluid
Mechanics' continues the tradition of precision, accuracy, accessibility and
strong conceptual presentation. The author balances three separate
approaches integral, differential and experimental to provide a foundation
for fluid mechanics concepts and applications. The application of theory
in fluid mechanics and enables students new to the science to grasp
fundamental concepts in the subject. Despite dramatic advances in
numerical and experimental methods of fluid mechanics, the fundamentals
are still the starting point for solving flow problems. This textbook
introduces the major branches of fluid mechanics of incompressible and
compressible media, the basic laws governing their flow, and gas
dynamics. Fluid Mechanics demonstrates how flows can be classified and
how specific engineering problems can be identified, formulated and
solved, using the methods of applied mathematics.
The concepts of fluid mechanics, covering both the physical and
mathematical aspects of the subject. The text aims to bridge the gap
between civil and mechanical engineering courses, and hence covers a
wide variety of topics. This book remains one of the most comprehensive
and useful texts on fluid mechanics available today, with applications
going from engineering to geophysics, and beyond to biology and general
science. This book features the applications of essential concepts as well
as the coverage of topics in the this field
