Applied Fluid Mechanics

Focusing on fluid mechanics, this textbook serves as a second course for mechanical and civil engineering students. It covers essential topics like pipe flow, channel flow, and the Navier-Stokes equations, while emphasizing practical applications. Designed specifically for civil engineering, it includes in-depth discussions on open channel flow and turbomachinery, and for mechanical engineering, it addresses potential and compressible flows. The text simplifies complex concepts like laminar flow and turbulence through clear explanations and numerous examples, making it accessible for students.
