The first half focuses on fundamental physical and analytical principles. The second half covers applications of those principles to flow in pipes and open channels, lift and drag, fluid machinery, and compressible flow. This edition retains the basic approach and style that has appealed to readers for over fifty years. The final chapter is an introduction to an array of fluid measurements and the instruments for making them.
Probably not the best for an Elementary Fluids course A Customer The title of this book is misleading--there is nothing elementary in this book. Flipping through this book one will probably become intimidated by sheer volume of "difficult math". This book might be of great help in a graduate level Fluid Mechanics course, but the definitions, derivations, and concepts in general are too difficult for an undergraduate. If you h. I've Kept It mwayne Was easy to understand, I've held onto it (even though it's not the field I practice in), which I think is a great sign when textbooks cost as much as they do!. "generally good" according to A Customer. this is a generally good book. of course, but as textbooks go, this is worth it. the material is as clear as can be, so that makes it a little easier to deal with an otherwise tough subject.
