DESCRIPTION:
Brand new product by Oxford Univ Press worth looking at! The first phrase you read when opening the book is "This book is intended primarily for use in a one-quarter or one-semester introductory fluid mechanics course". And it hits the nail on the head. Shaughnessy1 tries to give a balanced introduction to all the tools used for solving FM problems today (analytical, empirical, experimental, computational tools) and succeeds so in the first 70%; the rest is too concise eve

An Instructor's Manual and CD are available to adopters.. Presenting an image-intensive approach to fluid dynamics through classic kinematic concepts, the book demonstrates the importance of flow visualization in a framework of modern experimental techniques and flow simulation. Introduction to Fluid Mechanics provides a balanced and uniquely visual treatment of the tools used in solving modern fluid mechanics problems. The book also provides the means to solve interesting problems early in the course by presenting case studies at the beginning of the text. The book is designed to accommodate students concentrating in mechanical engineering as well as those in the civil, aerospace, and chemical engineering fields.Features·A highly organized 2-color interior and icons throughout the text aid in navigation and review.·CFD icons indicate subject matter that directly or indirectly relates to computational methods to familiarize students with this powerful tool.·FE icons note material that is covered in the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to help students prepare.·Chapters on differential analysis of flow and on applications of fluid mechanics are self-contained so that instructors can pick and choose which topics to cover. Detailed photographs and diagrams of fluid motions and phenomena throughout the text help students to see and understand why equations change drasti
