Recensione:
' ... a solid introduction to fluid mechanics for undergraduate engineers ... If I were responsible for an undergraduate engineering course of the kind this book was designed for, I would have no hesitation in adopting it for use.' D. C. Montgomery, Nuclear Fusion
'The material to be covered in each chapter is clearly explained ... the explanations of the several phenomena are generally well thought out and the illustrative examples are appropriate.' E. C. Covert, Journal of Fluid Mechanics
'Overall, Fluid Mechanics is well-written and highly recommended as a textbook for teaching undergraduate engineers. The book should help provide physical insight, as well as the usual mathematical basis, for the foundations of dynamics in fluids.' Applied Mechanics Review
'The subject matter is presented in logical sequence, and the authors, very commendably, have not shied away from providing a thorough analysis wherever it is necessary, including a development of the Navier–Stokes equations, without in any way neglecting to explain the physical principles involved. In addition, each chapter contains useful and well thought out worked examples for the student to attempt ... This text contains in a well written and in a concise way the fundamentals of modern fluid mechanics without becoming involved with particular applications.' The Aeronautical Journal
Descrizione del libro:
This text is intended for the study of fluid mechanics at an intermediate level, but includes the basic ideas in order to give a sound conceptual structure to support engineering applications and encourage further learning. Subjects treated include: hydrostatics; viscous flow; similitude and order of magnitude; creeping, potential, boundary-layer, turbulent and compressible flow, and non-Newtonian fluids.
