Bruce R. Munson, Professor Emeritus of Engineering Mechanics, has been a faculty member at Iowa State university since 1974. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Purdue university and his Ph.D degree from the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics Department of the university of Minnesota in 1970.
From 1970 to 1974, Dr.Munson was on the mechanical engineering faculty of Duke University. From 1964 to 1966, he worked as an engineer in the jet engine fuel control department of Bendix Aerospace Corporation, South Bend, Indiana.
Dr. Munson′s main professional activity has been in the area of fluid mechanics education and research. He has been responsible for the development of many fluid mechanics courses for studies in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering science, and agricultural engineering and is the recipient of an Iowa State university Superior engineering Teacher Award and the Iowa State University Alumni Association Faculty Citation.
He has authored and coauthored many theoretical and experimental technical papers on hydrodynamic stability, low Reynolds number flow, secondary flow, and the applications of viscous incompressible flow. He is a member of the American Society for Engineering Engineers, The American Physical Society, and the American society for Engineering Education.
Theodore H. Okiishi, Associate dean of Engineering and past Chair of Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State university, has taught fluid mechanics courses there since 1967. he received his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Iowa State.
From 1965 to 1967, Dr. Okiishi served as a U.S. Army officer with duty assignments at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio, where he participated in rocket nozzle heat transfer research, and at the Combined Intelligence Center, Saigon, Republic of south Vietnam, where he studied seasonal river flooding problems.
Professor Okiishi is active in research on turbomachinary fluid dynamic. He and his graduate students and other colleagues have written a number of journal articles based on their studies. Some of these project have involved significant collaboration with government and industrial laboratory researchers with one technical paper winning the ASME Melville medal.
Dr. Okiishi has received several awards for teaching. He has developed undergraduate and graduate courses in classical fluid dynamics as well as the fluid dynamics of turbomachines.
He is a licensed professional engineer. His technical society activities include having been chair of the board of directors of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International Gas turbine Institute. he is a fellow member of the ASME and the technical editor of the Journal of Turbomachinery.
Concise and focused–these are the two guiding principles of Young, Munson, and Okiishi′s Third Edition of A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO FLUID MECHANICS.
The authors clearly present basic analysis techniques and address practical concerns and applications, such as pipe flow, open–channel flow, flow measurement, and drag and lift. Homework problems in every chapter–including open–ended problems, problems based on the CD–ROM videos, laboratory problems, and computer problems–emphasize the practical application of principles. More than 100 worked examples provide detailed solutions to a variety of problems.
The Third Edition offers several new features and enhancements, including:
Experience fluid flow phenomena in action on a new CD–ROM! The Fluid Mechanics Phenomena CD–ROM packaged with this text presents 75 short video segments that illustrate various aspects of fluid mechanics. In addition, this CD now features 30 extended laboratory–type problems, which involve actual experimental data for simple experiments in an Excel format, as well as a set of 168 review problems.
