Product Description This dynamic book offers a clear insight into the field of fluid mechanics, taking an approach toward analyzing fluid flows that develops each subject from the theory of its basic laws to the illustration of actual engineering applications. The Fourth Edition features the most up-to-date applications of essential concepts as well as new coverage of the latest topics in the field today. | ||
Reviews | ||
OK I used this book as supplementary material for review during a graduate course in marine hydrodynamics. I liked that it was compact and cheaper. But it's not really comprehensive enough for an introductory class. | ||
Terrible Fluids Book This book was used in my fluids class and was no help at all. The explanations are unclear and confusing, and there are very few examples. This book does not make a good class text or reference text. Do not buy this book. If you are an undergrad then buy Fluid Mechanics by Young et al. or Crowe et al., or if you want more buy Viscous Fluid Flow by White. | ||
Save Your Money --- Don't Buy This I bought a paperback version of this textbook a few years ago. There were many printing and typo errors (the top few lines on many pages were lost),and the quality of explanations in the textbook is disappointing for a group of authors from a supposedly distinguished university. Wanted to sell the book to recoup my loss but there was no market for it. Doesn't that speak volumes about this book? | ||

Fluid mechanics for mathematicians I would not recommend this book for any introductory fluid mechanics course because there are a lot of derivation steps as well as background information assumed by the author. This is more of a mathematical approach to fluid mechanics as opposed to the more classical engineering approach. | ||
