Features: The book consists of eleven chapters. It first introduces the basic concepts of fluid motion and the fundamental equations governing fluid motion. Building on this foundation, it covers the flow of ideal and viscous fluids. By simplifying the governing equations of fluid flow, it gradually discusses common engineering scenarios such as pipe flow, non-Newtonian fluid flow, and two-phase fluid flow. Finally, it provides a brief introduction to computational fluid dynamics. The book emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, highlighting both the systematic nature of the theory and the broad applicability of its applications. It equally emphasizes the generality of the theory while highlighting the specific aspects relevant to the petroleum industry. This textbook can serve as a teaching material for undergraduate students in relevant disciplines at petroleum universities for the course "Fluid Mechanics" and for graduate students for the course "Advanced Fluid Mechanics." The book consists of eleven chapters, introducing the basic concepts of fluid motion, the fundamental equations governing fluid motion, the flow of ideal and viscous fluids, and discussing common engineering scenarios such as pipe flow and non-Newtonian fluid flow.
