Fluid Mechanics
Fluid Mechanics: A Problem-Solving Approach offers a unique textbook intended
for both undergraduate and graduate mechanical, chemical, and civil engineering
students.
This book works through the comprehensive coverage of fluid mechanics with a
gradual introduction of theory in a straightforward, practical manner. The book
contains many worked-out examples and illustrations which will help the readers
to easily understand the necessary concepts and solution techniques.
This versatile instructional resource contains many interesting elements like:
•  The chapter on pipe flows includes a detailed listing of entrance length and
flow friction correlations.
•  The chapter on oceanic and river waves is included with discussion on various
wave types.
•  The chapter on laminar flows offers exact solutions for cannonical flow cases like
Stoke’s problem, Hagen-Poisuille flow, flow between journal and bearing, etc.
•  The chapter on turbulent flows discusses the turbulence length scales, the turbulence
spectrum, Reynolds averaging and turbulence modeling, and simulations
approaches.
•  The boundary layer theory includes the Thwaites integral method which is not
covered in many fluid mechanics textbooks.
•  The book contains many end-of-chapter problems, and a Solutions Manual is
available for instructor use.
This eBook+ version includes the following enhancements:
•  3 videos are placed throughout the text to help apply real-world examples to
concepts of Newtonian vs. Non-Newtonian fluids, vortices, and additional
information on surface tension.
•  Pop-up explanations of selected concepts as interactive flashcards in each chapter.
•  Quizzes within chapters to help readers refresh their knowledge.
