Features: This book is compiled based on the fundamental requirements for teaching fluid mechanics in civil engineering and architecture majors in higher education institutions, while also considering the current educational reform ideas of strengthening theoretical foundations, broadening the scope of basic knowledge, and cultivating students in large categories. The book systematically elaborates on the basic concepts, theories, and engineering applications of engineering fluid mechanics (hydraulics). The book is divided into ten chapters, including Introduction, Fluid Statics, Fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics, Dimensional Analysis and Similarity Theory, Flow Resistance and Head Loss, Flow through Orifices, Nozzles, and Pressurized Pipes, Open Channel Flow, Weir Flow,, and One-Dimensional Steady Flow of Compressible Gases. Each chapter includes a certain number of examples and exercises. For convenience, the answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book. This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and junior college (including self-study and correspondence courses) students in civil engineering, water supply and drainage engineering, environmental engineering, municipal engineering, building environment and equipment engineering, and geological engineering, as well as other related disciplines, and can also serve as a reference book.
