Includes more than 600 fully solved problems, examples, and practice exercises to sharpen your problem-solving skills fluid mechanics and hydraulics
New material in this edition includes an examination of the relationship between a fluid system and a control volume used as a basis for equations of continuum, energy and momentum. There is also an appendix on programming and computer applications.
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics offers comprehensive topical coverage, with varied examples and problems, application of visual component of fluid mechanics, and strong focus on effective learning. The text enables the gradual development of confidence in problem solving. Each important concept is introduced in easy-to-understand terms before more complicated examples are discussed. Continuing …
The multidisciplinary field of fluid mechanics is one of the most actively developing fields of physics, mathematics and engineering. In this book, the fundamental ideas of fluid mechanics are presented from a physics perspective. Using examples taken from everyday life, from hydraulic jumps in a kitchen sink to Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in clouds, the book provides readers with a better u…
The proposed book will be a revision and update of the textbook entitled: "An Introduction to Computational Fluid Mechanics" by C.Y. Chow which was originally published in 1979. The original edition was written for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students as well as professional engineers and researchers in the mechanical and aerospace industries. In the decades that have passed si…
