Features: This textbook is designed to adapt to the adjustment of undergraduate major programs in ordinary universities nationwide, specifically for civil engineering majors. It is a concise (30-40 hours) "Fluid Mechanics" textbook, consisting of 10 chapters. The content includes Introduction, Fluid Statics, Fluid Kinematics, Ideal Fluid Dynamics and Steady Plane Potential Flow, Fundamentals of Actual (Viscous) Fluid Dynamics, Laminar Flow Qualities and Energy Loss, Flow Similarity Principles, Orifice and Nozzle Outflow and Pressurized Pipe Flow, Open Channel Flow and Weir Flow, as well as Seepage Flow. Each chapter is followed by an appropriate number of review questions and exercises.
When explaining basic concepts and theories, the book emphasizes systematic, concise, and easy-to-understand approaches. Considering the broad scope of the civil engineering major (including geotechnical engineering, bridge engineering, road engineering, underground construction, etc.), the book has been streamlined to simplify and refine content, making it easier for students to learn and master.
This book can also serve as a concise reference for engineering technicians in civil, hydraulic, environmental, chemical, and transportation-related fields.
