Introduction to Fluid Mechanics,

Abstract

Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, 6th Edition is intended for use at the undergraduate level in a mechanical or civil engineering or applied sciences curriculum. It is assumed that the students have knowledge of calculus and physics so that learning to use mathematics to model physical principles in fluid mechanics proceeds without much difficulty. The book is arranged into 13 chapters and is written using SI units as well as British gravitational units. To exclude either of these unit systems from any fundamental area of study would be premature at this time, although efforts have been made for many years at a national level to convert entirely to SI units. A brief description of the engineering system, complete with a discussion of gc, is also included (for illustrative purposes only).
