Features: This is an English textbook on Engineering Fluid Mechanics adapted from a premium teaching material published by the renowned American publisher John Wiley Sons. To maintain the characteristics of the original textbook while meeting the teaching requirements of Chinese universities, this book is primarily adapted based on the latest "Basic Requirements for Teaching Fluid Mechanics" for higher education civil engineering and architecture majors. It particularly emphasizes theoretical foundations and the resolution of practical problems. The main contents include: Introduction, Fluid Statics, Basic Principles of Fluid Motion, Control Volume Method for Flow Analysis (Steady Total Flow), Differential Method for Flow Analysis, Dimensional Analysis and Flow Similarity, Internal and External Flows, Pressurized Pipe Flow, Orifice and Nozzle Outflow, Open Channel Flow, Weir Flow, Seepage Flow, and One-Dimensional Flow of Compressible Gases. This book can be used as a bilingual teaching material for fluid mechanics (hydraulics) in universities and colleges for civil engineering, municipal engineering, water supply and drainage, and water conservancy majors. It can also serve as a reference book for professional technicians and candidates for the National Registration Examination for Civil Engineers.
