Mechanics of Fluids
- Textbook
Description
Providing a modern approach to classical fluid mechanics, this textbook presents an accessible and rigorous introduction to the field, with a strong emphasis on both mathematical exposition and physical problems. It includes a consistent treatment of a broad range of fluid mechanics topics, including governing equations, vorticity, potential flow, compressible flow, viscous flow, instability, and turbulence. It has enhanced coverage of geometry, coordinate transformations, kinematics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and nonlinear dynamics. To round out student understanding, a robust emphasis on…
