FLUID MECHANICS
This book is intended to accompany a text used in that first course in fluid mechanics
which is required in all mechanical engineering and civil engineering departments, as
well as several other departments. It provides a succinct presentation of the material so
that the students more easily understand those difficult parts. If an expanded
presentation is not a necessity, this book can be used as the primary text. We have
included all derivations and numerous applications, so it can be used with no
supplemental material. A solutions manual is available from the authors at
[email protected].
We have included a derivation of the Navier – Stokes equations with several solved
flows. It is not necessary, however, to include them if the elemental approach is selected.
Either method can be used to study laminar flow in pipes, channels, between rotating
cylinders, and in laminar boundary layer flow.
The basic principles upon which a study of fluid mechanics is based are illustrated
with numerous examples, solved problems, and supplemental problems which allow
students to develop their problem-solving skills. The answers to all supplemental
problems are included at the end of each chapter. All examples and problems are
presented using SI metric units. English units are indicated throughout and are included
in the Appendix.
The mathematics required is that of other engineering courses except that required
if the study of the Navier – Stokes equations is selected where partial differential
equations are encountered. Some vector relations are used, but not at a level beyond
most engineering curricula.
