Introduction to fluid mechanics, 3rd edition

Robert W. Fox, A.T. Mc Donald

Open publisher page 100 citations

Abstract

This introductory test emphasizes the physical concepts of fluid mechanics and methods of analysis, beginning from first principles. The book starts from basic equations, states all assumptions clearly, and relates results to expected physical behavior with the aid of 103 example problems. This book features the use of SI units in approximately 70% of the more than 1,100 problems, 500 of which are new.
