Fundamental Mechanics of Fluids

By Iain G. Currie and I.G. Currie

Book Overview

Revised and updated, this text provides details on intermediate concepts of potential, viscous, incompressible and compressible flow. Material is broad-based, covering a range of topics in an introductory manner, concentrating on the classic results rather than attempting to include the most recent advances in the subject. This new edition features expanded treatment of boundary layer flows, a new chapter dealing with buoyancy-driven flows, and new problems at the end of each chapter. A solutions manual is available (0-07-015001-X).

Great Text

This book is perfect for a graduate level fluid mechanics text book. It covers both inviscid and viscous flow. Currie proves the equations with a great level of accuracy. This book is an ideal companion to study for a qualifying exam. This is probably the most thorough graduate level text on fluid mechanics. Currie takes the time to prove everything very accurately.
