This standard work on mechanics of fluids is a highly readable and authoritative text which places emphasis on the principles behind engineering concepts rather than on specialized mathematical techniques. The work covers an entire honours degree course in fluid mechanics. The text of this sixth edition has been thoroughly revised and improved by the addition of 24 new worked examples, with topics of known difficulty given particular attention, and 19 new end-of-chapter problems. The material in the prologue on some aspects of dimensional analysis has been rewritten and Thwaites' approximate method for laminar boundary layers is now included. New running heads enhance the text's readability.
