A Guide to Fluid Mechanics

This book is written in the learner's point of view, with the purpose of helping the readers understand the principle of flow. The first feature of the book is that the theory is explained using ordinary and accessible language, where fluid mechanics is presented in analogy with solid mechanics to emphasize that they are all the application of Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics. The second feature is that all the informative and intriguing illustration are drawn by the author himself, which unites science and art and makes the figures compliment the text and provide clearer understanding with visuals. Another unique feature is that one of the chapters is wholly dedicated to providing 25 selected interesting and controversial flow examples with the purpose of linking theory with practice. Beneficial to both the beginners in this field and experts in other fields and ideal for college students, graduate students, engineers, and technicians.
