Description

This is an introductory fluid mechanics text, intended for the first Fluid Mechanics course required of all engineers. The goal of this book is to modernise the teaching of fluid mechanics by encouraging students to visualise and simulate flow processes. The book also introduces students to the capabilities of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, the most important new approach to the study of fluids. Fluid mechanics is traditionally one of the most difficult topics in the curriculum for ME students: this text aims to overcome those learning difficulties through visualisation of the key concepts.Contents: 1.
