Description


This book explores a variety of relatively simple approaches to academic and practical problems of fluid mechanics.
Chapters cover topics from the basics of dynamics, defining the main properties of fluids, to fluid in equilibrium and the treatment of inviscid and viscous flows. In each chapter, different theorems and approaches are discussed to give a detailed review of analytical methods behind the study of fluid mechanics.
This book is aimed at students in engineering schools, students in technical sectors, undergraduate and post-graduate students. It is also useful for those engaged in professional activities needing to take advantage of knowledge and tools relating to fluid mechanics.

Contents


1. Mechanics and Fluid.
2. Immobile Fluid.
3. A Description of Flows.
4. Dynamics of Inviscid Fluids.
5. Viscous Fluid Flows: Calculating Head Losses.
6. Calculation of Thrust and Propulsion.
