Mechanics of Fluids

Abstract

Part 1 Basic principles of fluid mechanics: fundamental notions stress at point fluid statics foundations of flow analysis basic laws for finite sysems and finite control continuity and momentum basic laws for finite systems and finite control thermodynamcis differenial forms of the basic laws dimensional analysis and similitude. Part 2 Analysis of important internal flows: incompressible viscous flow through pipes general incompressible viscous flow - the Navier-Stokes equations one-dimensional compressible flow potential flow boundary-layer theory free-surface flow turbomachinery computational fluid mechanics. Appendices: measurement methods curves and tables and computer projects.
