Helps students develop an orderly approach to problem solving by starting from basic equations, stating assumptions clearly and relating results to expected physical behavior. Many detailed example problems demonstrate good solution techniques and explain troublesome points of theory. Updated and expanded with increased coverage of relevant topics, more example and homework problems and new sections on supersonic channel flow and fluid machinery.
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.
Introduction to Fluid Mechanics

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.
A re-issue of Professor Batchelor's classic text on fluid dynamics, first published in 1967.
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.
Beginning with the simple and proceeding to the complex, the text introduces the principles of fluid mechanics in orderly steps.
This book provides readers with an understanding of the theory, concepts and applications of fluid mechanics.
