Solving Problems In Fluid Mechanics
The two volumes of Solving Problems in Fluid Mechanics have become well established as the best available problem-based student-centred texts on the subject. They present a clear explanation of theory and application in the form of solutions to typical examination and assignment type questions.
The two volumes of Solving Problems in Fluid Mechanics have become well established as the best available problem-based student-centred texts on the subject. Following the tried and tested format, the revised and updated third editions continue to give students a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and its engineering applications.
Taking a practical approach, the texts answer a range of common problems in fluid mechanics. Worked examples are used to explain fundamental theory and to demonstrate how it can be applied to typical engineering situations. To help the student, each chapter features a set of learning objectives, an end of chapter summary and self-assessment questions. In addition, assignments to encourage further practice and experimentation are included.
Both volumes have been updated and revised with new examples, problems and applications in line with today's courses.
Assuming only an elementary knowledge of mathematics and mechanics, Volume One covers the elements of hydrostatics, fluid pressure and the stability of floating bodies. It also explains the basic principles of the analysis of fluid motion, methods of flow measurement, a study of pipelines, open channel flow and fluid friction.
Solving Problems in Fluid Mechanics is essential reading for first degree students of fluid mechanics on civil, mechanical, aeronautical, chemical and environmental engineering and building services courses.
Dr John Douglas, now retired, was formerly Head of the Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering at the South Bank University, London. Professor Richard Matthews is Head of the School of Engineering Systems and Design, also at the South Bank University.
