Fluid mechanics, the study of how fluids behave and interact under various forces and in various applied situations—whether in the liquid or gaseous state or both—is introduced and comprehensively covered in this widely adopted text.

In most areas, an understanding of this book can be followed up by specialized monographs and the research literature. The material added to this new edition will provide insights gathered over 45 years of studying fluid mechanics.
