5.0 out of 5 stars
This book is very popular to undergraduate engr. students,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fluid Mechanics (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
This book has been used by several universities and adopted as the course text for several years by the US Naval Academy. It is written to strengthen student's background in applied math, and has many clever example problems. The degree of difficulty is slightly greater than most other texts on the subject but it is justified in that the aim is to improve student's math prowess.

Fluid Mechanics (Dover Classics of Science and Mathematics),

This review is from: Fluid Mechanics (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book on Fluid Mechanics. It covers all the important topics that both students and practitioners are likely to encounter. Notably, the structure of the book is very logical in that it starts with the fundermentals upon which the more advanced topics are successively built. Three key features of this book are especially outstanding: 1) provision of many worked examples through out the book, 2) provision of many illustrations, including photographs, and 3) provision of problems for the reader to solve at the end of each chapter.
The most notable shortcoming of this book is the fact that it does not use SI units, which are used by many countries. This is a disadvantage as far as international readers are concerned. That is not in the case for USA readers, which is probably the target market for the book. All in all, it is a 5-star book.

Outstanding & Comprehensive Introduction,
This review is from: Fluid Mechanics (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
Clear yet rigorous approach to a complex topic. This book provides a strong foundation for the equations of fluid motion that is quite approachable. It organizes well Navier Stokes to other equations such as Euler's and Bernoulli's. A useful text for undergraduate engineering students.
