Overview
Choose the right equation. Understand why it applies.
Simple Fluid Mechanics connects physical reasoning, governing equations, and problem solving for first-course engineering and applied-science students, independent learners, and readers revisiting the fundamentals.
15 chapters. 120 numbered problems with worked solutions. 109 figures. Learn to choose a model, state assumptions, track units and signs, and check what a numerical answer means.
Build a connected understanding of:
Fluid properties, pressure, hydrostatic forces, and buoyancy.
Flow description, control volumes, and conservation of mass.
Bernoulli's equation, real-flow energy, measurement, and momentum forces.
Dimensional analysis, similarity, viscosity, and internal-flow resistance.
Boundary layers, separation, drag, lift, and integrated method selection.
Attempt-first practice, prediction checkpoints, cumulative review gates, and a final review with capstone problems support active learning and independent method selection.
An essential-equation reference, notation guide, glossary, further-learning references, and index support review. SI units are the default.
The starting level includes algebra, basic trigonometry and vectors, introductory mechanics, and elementary calculus. Readiness checks and local refreshers support the learning path; prior fluid-mechanics study is not required.
