Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, Sixth Edition, is intended for a first course in Fluid Mechanics, as taken by a range of engineering majors. Beginning with dimensions, units, and fluid properties, the text continues with explanation of key equations and coverage of the control-volume approach. Step-by-step examples focus on everyday situations, and applications such as flow with friction through pipes and tubes, flow past objects, open channel flow, compressible flow, and turbomachinery are featured. Design projects give readers a sense of what they'll encounter in industry, and experimental methods and data are covered. A Solutions Manual and Figure Slides are available for instructors.
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.

More rigorous than existing texts in the field, it is also distinguished by the choice and order of subject matter, its careful derivation and explanation of the laws of fluid mechanics, and its attention to everyday examples of fluid flow ...
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.
This third edition incorporates a number of updates and revisions, while retaining the spirit and scope of the original book.
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.
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.
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.
