Publisher's Synopsis
The number one text in its field, Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics is respected by professors and students alike for its comprehensive topical coverage, its varied examples and homework problems, its application of the visual component of fluid mechanics, and its strong focus on learning. The authors have designed their presentation to allow for the gradual development of student confidence in problem solving. Each important concept is introduced in simple and easy-to-understand terms before more complicated examples are discussed.
Continuing this book's tradition of extensive real-world applications, the new 6th edition includes more Fluids in the News case study boxes in each chapter, new problem types, an increased number of real-world photos, and additional videos to augment the text material and help generate student interest in the topic. Example problems have also been updated and numerous new photographs, figures, and graphs have been added.
In addition, there are 150 videos designed to aid and enhance student comprehension, support visualization skill building and engage students more deeply with the material and concepts. These videos are noted in the text at appropriate locations and include relevant descriptions of the material. These visual aids can be a significant asset to aiding the student's learning of the core concepts in fluid mechanics. Approximately 70 of the 150 videos are NEW to this edition.
