Abstract

Unified approach to fluid mechanics: Basic concepts, fluid statics, kinematics, conservation of mass/momentum/energy, unidirectional flows, laminar flows, low Reynolds flows, boundary layers, turbulence, inviscid flows, lift and drag, Bernoulli, compressible flow, open-channel flow, magnetohydrodynamics, measurements, pumps and turbines, Non-Newtonian flow, finite difference and finite element methods.
