An introduction to fluid mechanics, originally published in 1985, presenting a unified method of analysis that poses fluid mechanics problems in precise mathematical language. Describes problems using real-life examples, and represents the physical model by appropriate mathematical symbols, collecting them into equations and then solving them. Includes examples of problem-solving techniques, study questions, key equations, and problems. This edition includes a new preface and answers to selected problems.

Customer Reviews

Clear yet rigorous approach to a complex topic. This book provides a strong foundation for the equations of fluid motion that is quite approachable. It organizes well Navier Stokes to other equations such as Euler's and Bernoulli's. A useful text for undergraduate engineering students.

This book has been used by several universities and adopted as the course text for several years by the US Naval Academy. It is written to strengthen student's background in applied math, and has many clever example problems. The degree of difficulty is slightly greater than most other texts on the subject but it is justified in that the aim is to improve student's math prowess.
