A Computer-based Textbook for Introductory Fluid Mechanics
Frontiers of Computational Fluid Dynamics 1998, 1998
An interactive textbook that uses the power of the personal computer to teach introductory fluid mechanics has been developed by the authors. This mode of presentation integrates hypertext navigational and search features, the presentation of videos and animations to illustrate phenomena and concepts, and computation to allow the presentation of results for a variety of parameter values and the solution of nonlinear problems without the tedium of table look-up or iteration on the part of the student. The authors' experience using an early version of the book to teach junior-level students in mechanical engineering and in civil and environmental engineering indicates that the students appreciate the increased understanding that comes with dynamic figures, the easy access to data, the ability to locate quickly definitions and specific material, and, most of all, the computational facilities. * MATLAB is a versatile numerical analysis and graphics software package developed and distributed by MathWorks, Inc. of Natick, Massachusetts. An executable version of MATLAB will be distributed with the book, but will be available only to run the utilities that the authors have developed.

FLUID DYNAMICS DEMYSTIFIED FIFTH EDITION
In this book we look at deriving the governing equations of fluid flow using conservation of energy techniques on a differential element undergoing shear stress or viscous forces as it moves along a pipe and we use the expression for friction coefficient for laminar flow to derive the equations. We also derive a friction coefficient to work for Torricelli flow. We look at laminar, and turbulent flow. We look at cases where there is a pipe on a tank or an orifice and we develop the governing equations. We then develop a universal formula or equation that works for all types of flow i.e., laminar, transition and turbulent flow in one equation. We go ahead and demonstrate Pouiselle flow and the conditions under which it will be observed. We explain other phenomena too. [email protected]
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics
Book is designed as an introductory undergraduate fluid mechanics course for mechanical engineering, civil engineering, dam and resources water engineering, chemical and petroleum engineering students of all disciplines. The text covers all major aspects of fluid mechanics, including fundamental concepts in fluid mechanics, pressure distribution in fluids, hydrostatic forces on plane and curved surfaces, buoyancy and stability of floating body, basic concept of fluid flow, dynamics of fluid flow, applications of momentum theorem, applications of energy equation, dynamic similarity and dimensional analysis, viscous incompressible flow in pipe (laminar and turbulent) and introduction to boundary layer. The book continues to maintain a student friendly approach and fluid mechanics problem solving orientation. Presentations are limited to basic topics in those areas discipline. The purpose of the book is to present the principles and concepts of fluid mechanics in each subject with complete derivation of basic equations from initial principles as relevant to student learning. The numerous worked examples and unsolved exercise problems to provide the reader with an awareness of the general applicability of principles and concepts of fluid mechanics. Engineering students learn best when they are motivated by problems. This is particularly true when the real practical examples are working through each chapter.

THEORY OF FLUID DYNAMICS FIFTH EDITION
In this book we look at an alternative way of deriving the governing equations of fluid flow using conservation of energy techniques on a differential element undergoing shear stress or viscous forces as it moves along a pipe and we use the expression for friction coefficient for laminar flow to derive the equations.We also derive other friction factors to explain observations. We also derive the equations that work for Torricelli flow and there conditions. We derive the turbulent flow equations too. We derive the general equation for all regimes laminar, transition and turbulent flow

The Reynolds number is also derived and the conditions for which it acts are derived and modified to fit experimental observations

Introduction to Fluid Mechanics Fourth E
This textbook is designed for undergraduate students in mechanical or civil engineering and applied sciences. Assuming a background in calculus and physics, it focuses on using mathematics to model fluid mechanics principles. The book is organized into 13 chapters and uses both SI and British gravitational units. It includes a brief description of the engineering system and a discussion of gc for illustrative purposes.

Fluid Mechanics from the Beginning to the Third Millennium
International Journal of Engineering …, 1998
Although the christening of the discipline is a relatively recent undertaking, fluid mechanics goes back to the time of archaic Homo sapiens. The art of fluids in motion was born when quite empirically, unceremoniously and without a hint of what either a fluid or mechanics is, the resourceful inhabitants of the planet Earth discovered that a streamlined object travels farther as compared to a blunt one. Great changes took place during the first half of this century in both the teaching and research of the discipline, and it appears that the subject is set for another upheaval as we approach the third millennium. This paper discusses those past and future evolutions of fluid mechanics.
