Features: This classic textbook, Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications, inherits and develops the tradition of explaining physical phenomena in fluid mechanics, applying fundamental principles in a simple and as clear as possible manner without using complex mathematical tools. For engineering students, the most important thing is to vividly visualize the physical phenomena being discussed. Therefore, this book strongly emphasizes the physical phenomena of fluid mechanics, running throughout the entire book. It focuses on explaining the fundamental principles, basic assumptions, and conditions of their application in fluid mechanics, then demonstrates how to apply these principles to solve practical engineering problems. The manuscript includes examples, practice problems after sections, and end-of-chapter problems. It also provides numerous examples and problems in both BG and SI units to familiarize students with unit conversions. The total number of practice problems and end-of-chapter problems in this book reaches 1,354. Despite undergoing extensive revisions, this highly acclaimed textbook still maintains its traditional approach—teaching fundamental concepts by solving engineering problems. In this book, all topics are explained more clearly and integrated. It also selects many challenging problems that can be solved using computers and programmable calculators. Some newly selected problems can be solved using Excel, Mathcad, and HP-48G. This book can be used as a textbook for professional courses in fields such as hydraulic engineering, civil engineering, aerospace, and energy and power engineering, as well as a technical reference for engineering professionals in related fields.
