Fluid Mechanics With Student Resources Cd

Rate this book
The fifth edition of "Fluid Mechanics" continues the tradition of precision, accuracy, accessibility, and strong conceptual presentation. This new edition retains its basic organization. The three approaches - integral, differential, and dimensional analysis - are treated separately, providing the conceptual foundation of fluid mechanics. Chapters on ducts, immersed bodies, potential flow, compressible flow, open channels, and turbomachinery show the major applications of the field. The new edition includes a systematic problem solving methodology for readers to follow. New chapter examples and approximately 250 new chapter problems have been added. The EES (Engineering Equation Solver) software is included, free to users, as a means to model and solve problems on the computer. A new appendix offers a brief review of mathematical tools.

Almost all books in fluid mechanics for engineering undergraduates are more or less the same. The reason I chose to read this book (cover to cover by now having done teaching assistantship in solid mechanics multiple times) is that I picked it up in third semester for AML160 Mechanics of Fluids during undergrad in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Delhi. At that time I mostly ran through the examples for help in doing the course assignments. Over time, I got opportunities to read/describe various sections to students and I found that the book is very helpful in that. Hence, I would definitely recommend the book to not just students but instructors as well.

This is pretty much the same review as my review for Mechanics of Materials by Beer, DeWolf, and Johnston Jr..
