Help students gain an understanding of fluid mechanics and strengthen their abilities to analyze this important phenomena encountered by practicing engineers with MECHANICS OF FLUIDS, 5E. The authors use proven learning tools to help students visualize many difficult-to-understand aspects of fluid mechanics. They present numerous phenomena that are often not discussed in other texts, such as entrance flows, the difference between wakes and separated regions, free-stream fluctuations and turbulence, and vorticity. A unique accompanying Multimedia Fluid Mechanics DVD allows students to gain insight and develop intuition about fluid flow as they see the mathematical relationships through movies and conduct actual simulations.
