The fifth corrected and expanded edition of this standard reference work, this textbook effectively lays out the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics in clearly organized teaching units with comprehensive feedback. Starting with the continuum hypothesis, the book gives readers a firm grasp of physical causes, idealized models, and principles of numerical calculation as well as their application.
