Introduction to fluid mechanics
This text was written for an introductory course in fluid mechanics. Our approach to the subject, as in previous editions, emphasizes the physical concepts of Auid mechanics and methods of analysis that begin from basic principles. The primary objective of this book is to help users develop an orderly approach to problem solv ing. Thus we always start from governing equations, state assumptions clearly, and try to relate mathematical results to corresponding physical behavior. We emphasize the use of control volumes to maintain a practical problem-solving approach that is also theoretically inclusive.
Complete explanations presented in the text, together with numerous detailed examples, make this book understandable for students. This frees the instructor to de part from conventional lecture teaching methods. Classroom time can be used to bring in outside material, expand upon special topics (such as non-Newtonian flow, boundary-layer flow, lift and drag, or experimental methods), solve example prob lems, or explain difficult points of assigned homework problems. In addition, the 45 example problem Excel workbooks are useful for presenting a variety of fluid me chanics phenomena, especially the effects produced when varying input parameters. Thus each class period can be used in the manner most appropriate to meet student needs.
