Features: This book is written as a textbook for the master's degree courses in the first-level discipline of water conservancy engineering, "Advanced Fluid Mechanics." Compared to undergraduate "Hydraulics" or "Engineering Fluid Mechanics" courses, "Advanced Fluid Mechanics" provides more in-depth theoretical analysis and discussion on related issues to meet the demands of modern water conservancy engineering in fluid mechanics. This book helps improve the reader's theoretical knowledge and deepens their understanding of the fundamental content of modern fluid mechanics. It can also serve as a reference book for researchers, educators, and engineering professionals in related fields. While maintaining the completeness of fundamental fluid mechanics theories, the book balances content selection and arrangement to meet the requirements of subsequent professional courses and research work. The book is divided into six chapters: Basic Concepts of Fluid Mechanics, Basic Equations of Fluid Motion, Potential Flow, Viscous Fluid Motion, Turbulent Flow, and Vortex Motion. Relevant basic mathematical knowledge is provided in the appendix.
