Young, Munson and Okiishi's a Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics

by Andrew L Gerhart, John I Hochstein, Andrew L. Gerhart

Book Overview

This book is designed to cover the standard topics in a basic fluid mechanics course in a streamlined manner that meets the learning needs of students better than the dense, encyclopedic format of traditional texts. This approach helps students connect math and theory to the physical world and apply these connections to solving problems. The text lucidly presents basic analysis techniques and addresses practical concerns and applications, such as pipe flow, open-channel flow, flow measurement, and drag and lift. It offers a strong visual approach with photos, illustrations, and videos included in the text, examples, and homework problems to emphasize the practical application of fluid mechanics principles.
