Fluid Mechanics [Hardcover]

This comprehensive general introduction to the principles and applications of fluid mechanics introduces microcomputers to problem solving, allowing students to attempt lengthy problems in class. Presented in a clear style, Fluid Mechanics uses more pedagogical features than most comparable texts. The text derives basic equations using a physical as well as an integral approach, thereby aiding student comprehension. Comments on student errors to help minimize mistakes made by students during problem solving.
