Elementary Fluid Mechanics / Edition 7

by Robert L. Street

Overview

This edition retains the basic approach and style that has appealed to many generations of readers. The first half focuses on fundamental physical and analytical principles and the second section covers applications of these principles to flow in pipes and open channels, lift and drag, fluid machinery, and compressible flow. In this expanded version the chapter on similitude and dimensional analysis is enhanced by the addition of a section on the normalization of the governing equations of flow in terms of the flow's significant scales. More applications have been added to the chapter on pipe flow along with a new section on hydraulic transients. Includes a new chapter on fluid machinery.
