Elementary Fluid Mechanics

Informationen zum Autor Robert L. Street (Stanford Univ.) Gary Z. Watters (California State Univ., Chico) John K. Vennard Klappentext This edition retains the basic approach and style that has appealed to readers for over fifty years. The first half focuses on fundamental physical and analytical principles. The second half covers applications of those principles to flow in pipes and open channels! lift and drag! fluid machinery! and compressible flow. The final chapter is an introduction to an array of fluid measurements and the instruments for making them. Zusammenfassung Concentrating on open channel flow! this textbook enables students to grasp the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and their various applications. Physical rather than mathematical concepts are emphasized. The text has been revised to include new illustrations and the results of recent research. Inhaltsverzeichnis Fundamentals. Fluid Statics.
