9780024049605: Fluid Flow

Synopsis

This introduction to fluid flow develops fluid mechanics from its foundations in physics to its current applications in engineering. This edition has been revised and updated to include new problems and an expanded coverage of hydrostatics, dimensional analysis and boundary codes. The text examines various types of flow and illustrates theorems using basic equations such as momentum, angular momentum and the Bernouilli equation. It outlines the basics of turbomachine design, allowing students to develop preliminary designs of actual machines, and provides an examination of two-dimensional gas dynamics.
