The mechanics of fluid flow is a fundamental engineering discipline
explaining both natural phenomena and human-induced processes, and
a thorough understanding of it is central to the operations of the
oil and gas industry. This book, written by some of the
world's best-known and respected petroleum engineers, covers
the concepts, theories, and applications of the mechanics of fluid
flow for the veteran engineer working in the field and the student,
alike. It is a must-have for any engineer working in the oil
and gas industry.
