DESCRIPTION:
A look at fundamental aspects of fluid motion, including important fluid properties, regimes of flow, pressure variations in fluids at rest and in motion, fluid kinematics, and methods of flow description and analysis. This book describes the essential elements of kinematics, including Eulerian and Lagrangian mathematical descriptions of flow phenomena, and indicates the vital relationship between the two views.
"Book serves its intended purpose" according to A Customer. I felt that the book was very helpful in taking my Fluid Mechanics course. We covered all of the book but the last chapter. I had a very poor teacher when I took the class, so the book was pretty much my only tool for learning the material. I thought that the end-of-chapter example problems were helpful and covered a wide range of topics presented in the book. The sample problems were also very helpful to me in doing the example problems tha. "Pretty good book for people who really want to learn theory" according to Leonardo (salemi@brnet.com.br). In my course of Fluid Mechanics at the University of Brasília (UnB) I've been studying this subject through McDonald and Fox's Introduction to Fluid Mechanics and I really think that Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics is the best choice for people who really want to learn the theory . Besides that Mcdonald and Fox's is better in terms of exercises. This is a really great textbook for Fluid Mechanics C. Eaker I am a student at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA. We use this textbook in my fluid mechanics class. I have not seen in all my years at Tech such a thorough textbook. It really is a great book for learning fluids.
