Foundations and Applications of Mechanics: Volume II: Fluid Mechanics

This book starts by presenting a detailed summary of the most general equations of fluid mechanics and then shows how various approximations are made to solve problems of engineering interest. This approach shows exactly where the given approximation fits within the general framework. This is very different than the approach in many other books where the various approximations (such as ideal fluid flow, compressible gas dynamics, Stokes flow, etc.) are presented right from the outset in dif...
