The 3^rd Edition contains completely reworked line drawings, revised problems, and extended end-of-chapter questions for clarification and expansion of key concepts.

Retaining the features that made previous editions perennial favorites, Fundamental Mechanics of Fluids, Third Edition illustrates foundational equations and strategies used to analyze fluid dynamics, mechanisms, and behavior, and offers solutions to fluid flow dilemmas encountered in common engineering applications.

Includes appendices that summarizes vectors, tensors, complex variables, and governing equations in common coordinate systems.

Highlights

• continuity, mass, momentum, and energy
• one-, two-, and three-dimensional flows
• surface waves
• boundary layer theory
• low Reynolds number solutions
• shock waves
• flow measurement
• and buoyancy-driven flows

A valuable reference for mechanical, chemical, civil, lubrication, automotive, heat transfer, aerospace, industrial, materials, process, environmental, marine, and fluid dynamics engineers; and an outstanding text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
