Fluid mechanics continues to dominate the world of engineering. This book bridges the gap between first and higher level text books on the subject. It shows that the approximate approaches are essentially globally averaged versions of the local treatment, that in turn is covered in considerable detail in the second edition.
Advanced Engineering Fluid Mechanics
The fact that there is no book treating this physical discipline as a unified subject in a single book that considers the need of the engineering and physics community, motivated the author to write this book.
Letting n = n lower fluid − n upper fluid we have ∫∫ s ∫∫ ndS = −+nn· + ·ndS = 0 (1.10.3) S But n· is zero, ... read the note at the end of Goldstein's Modern Developments in Fluid Dynamics (1965) for an interesting account.
This book will prove useful to undergraduate mechanical engineering students and other engineering students taking courses in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
The contents of this book covers the material required in the Fluid Mechanics Graduate Core Course (MEEN-621) and in Advanced Fluid Mechanics, a Ph. D-level elective course (MEEN-622), both of which I have been teaching at Texas A&M ...
Fluid mechanics, the study of how fluids behave and interact under various forces and in various applied situations—whether in the liquid or gaseous state or both—is introduced and comprehensively covered in this widely adopted text.

Like its acclaimed predecessor, this second edition introduces mathematical tools on a "need-to-know" basis. New to the Second Edition This edition includes three new chapters on elasticity of slender rods, energy, and entropy.
It is a long way from the first edition in 1976 to the present sixth edition in 1995.This edition is dedicated to the memory of Prof.S.P.Luthra(Once Head,Applied Mechanics Director,IIT Delhi)who wrote the foreword to its first edition.So ...
A real boon for those studying fluid mechanics at all levels, this work is intended to serve as a comprehensive textbook for scientists and engineers as well as advanced students in thermo-fluid courses.
