Description:
This book covers the fundamental mechanics of fluids as they are treated at
the senior level or in first graduate courses. Many excellent books exist that
treat special areas of fluid mechanics such as ideal-fluid flow or boundarylayer
theory. However, there are very few books at this level that sacrifice an
in-depth study of one of these special areas of fluid mechanics for a briefer
treatment of a broader area of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics. This
situation exists despite the fact that many institutions of higher learning
offer a broad, fundamental course to a wide spectrum of their students
before offering more advanced specialized courses to those who are specializing
in fluid mechanics.
