At the end of each chapter carefully designed problems are assigned as homework, for which selected fully worked-out solutions are provided. This book can be used for self-study, as well as in conjunction with a course in fluid mechanics.
One of the bestselling books in the field, Introduction to Fluid Mechanics continues to provide readers with a balanced and comprehensive approach to mastering critical concepts.
In this text we delve deeply into the mathematical analysis of flows, but before beginning, it is reasonable to ask if it is necessary to make this significant mathematical effort.

The objective of this introductory text is to familiarise students with the basic elements of fluid mechanics so that they will be familiar with the jargon of the discipline and the expected results.
Blood is non-Newtonian; the shear stress versus shear rate is described by the Casson relationship: 8 < : ffiffiffiτ p= ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi pffiffiffiffiτc+ r μdudr, for τ ≥ τc τ = 0 for τ < τc where τc is the critical shear ...
Beginning with the simple and proceeding to the complex, the text introduces the principles of fluid mechanics in orderly steps.
This third edition incorporates a number of updates and revisions, while retaining the spirit and scope of the original book.
The text lucidly presents basic analysis techniques and addresses practical concerns and applications, such as pipe flow, open-channel flow, flow measurement, and drag and lift.
This book provides readers with an understanding of the theory, concepts and applications of fluid mechanics.
