【内容简介】This popular text is written for those taking their first course in fluids. Updated to include advances and relevant examples, it starts with fluid statics and moves on to the control/volume approach of determining flow. Noted for its step-by-step examples, this book helps those new to fluid mechanics make sense of it. Separate problem sections stress computer usage and design work. With an abundance of new material, this is a thorough and comprehensible presentation of fluid mechanics from a practical viewpoint, rather than an encyclopedic and inaccessible one.
