Features: This textbook is written for the undergraduate professional basic course "Fluid Mechanics" in the field of Engineering Mechanics. It can also serve as a teaching material and reference book for university engineering majors and postgraduate students studying fluid mechanics. The content includes the basic concepts, principles, applications of fluid mechanics, and some important modern fluid mechanics knowledge. The book is divided into 10 chapters. Chapters 1 to 4 cover the basic principles of fluid mechanics, including the physical properties of fluids, fluid kinematics, the basic principles of fluid dynamics, and the dynamics of ideal fluids. Chapters 5 and 6 focus on the main applications of the dynamics of ideal incompressible fluids, including two-dimensional irrotational and rotational flow of ideal incompressible fluids, and hydrodynamic wave theory. Chapter 7 emphasizes the fundamentals of gas dynamics. Chapters 8 to 10 cover viscous fluid dynamics, including the basics of viscous fluid mechanics, turbulence, and the theory of boundary layers. Each chapter provides numerous examples and a large number of exercises, with answers to some exercises provided at the end of the book. After thoroughly studying this book, readers will have a solid foundation for further specialized study in fluid mechanics or for conducting research and solving engineering and natural flow problems. This book is a revised edition of the 1999 version of "Fluid Mechanics," with updated and modified content.
