En -Basic of fluid Mechanics

Preface

This book, Basics of Fluid Mechanics, describes the fundamentals of fluid

mechanics phenomena for engineers and others. This book is designed to replace all

introductory textbook(s) or instructor’s notes for the fluid mechanics in undergraduate

classes for engineering/science students but also for technical peoples. It is hoped that

the book could be used as a reference book for people who have at least some basics

knowledge of science areas such as calculus, physics, etc.

The structure of this book is such that many of the chapters could be usable

independently. For example, if you need information about, say, statics’ equations, you

can read just chapter (4). I hope this makes the book easier to use as a reference

manual. However, this manuscript is first and foremost a textbook, and secondly a

reference manual only as a lucky coincidence.

I have tried to describe why the theories are the way they are, rather than just

listing “seven easy steps” for each task. This means that a lot of information is presented

which is not necessary for everyone. These explanations have been marked as such and

can be skipped.9 Reading everything will, naturally, increase your understanding of the

many aspects of fluid mechanics. Many in the industry, have called and emailed this

author with questions since this book is only source in the world of some information.

These questions have lead to more information and further explantion that is not found

anywhre else.This book, Basics of Fluid Mechanics, describes the fundamentals of fluid
