1. Introduction to the Textbook
The 7th Edition of Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics offers comprehensive topical coverage, featuring varied examples and problems. It emphasizes the visual components of fluid mechanics and focuses on effective learning. The text is designed to enable the gradual development of reader confidence in problem-solving. Each important concept is introduced in easy-to-understand terms before more complicated examples are discussed.
Continuing the book's tradition of extensive real-world applications, this edition includes more 'Fluid in the News' case study boxes in each chapter, new problem types, an increased number of real-world photos, and additional videos to augment the text material and help generate student interest in the topic. Example problems have been updated, and numerous new photographs, figures, and graphs have been included. More videos are designed to aid and enhance comprehension, support visualization skill-building, and engage students more deeply with the material and concepts.
