Fundamental Mechanics of Fluids, Fourth Edition addresses the need for an introductory text that focuses on the basics of fluid mechanics\u2014before concentrating on specialized areas such as ideal-fluid flow and boundary-layer theory. Filling that void for both students and professionals working in different branches of engineering, this versatile instructional resource comprises five flexible, self-contained sections:\n-- Governing Equations deals with the derivation of the basic conservation laws, flow kinematics, and some basic theorems of fluid mechanics.\n-- Ideal-Fluid Flow covers two- and three-dimensional potential flows and surface waves.\n-- Viscous Flows of Incompressible Fluids discusses exact solutions, low-Reynolds-number approximations, boundary-layer theory, and buoyancy-driven flows.\n-- Compressible Flow of Inviscid Fluids addresses shockwaves as well as one- and multidimensional flows.\n-- Methods of Mathematical Analysis summarizes some commonly used analysis te.
