More About This Title A Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics

English

This concise and comprehensive book covers the basic concepts and principles of modern fluid mechanics. It examines the fundamental aspects of fluid motion including important fluid properties, regimes of flow, pressure variations in fluids at rest and in motion, methods of flow description and analysis. It expands on basic analysis techniques used to solve fluid mechanics problems, and stresses how flow phenomena are described mathematically, and when and how to use infinitesimal and finite control volumes.
