All rights reserved 2 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 FLUID MECHANICS Fluid mechanics is the branch of science concerned with moving and stationary fluids Given that the vast majority of the observable mass in the universe exists in a fluid state, that life as we know it is not possible without fluids, and that the atmosphere and oceans covering this planet are fluids, fluid mechanics has unquestioned scientific and... revisions made for this 5th Edition of Fluid Mechanics have been driven primarily by my experience teaching and interacting with undergraduate and graduate students during the last two decades Overall, the structure, topics, and technical level of the 4th Edition have been largely retained, so instructors who have made prior use of this text should recognize much in the 5th Edition This textbook should... To properly introduce the subject of fluid mechanics and its importance • To present the relevant features of fluid statics • To state the assumptions upon which the subject is based • To establish dimensional analysis as an intellectual tool for use in the remainder of the text • To review the basic background science of liquids and gases Fluid Mechanics, Fifth Edition DOI: 10.1016/B978-0-12-382100-3.10001-0...
