Introduction to Fluid Mechanics

Monday, May 10, 2010

This book was written as a textbook or guidebook on fluid mechanics for  students or junior engineers studying mechanical or civil engineering. The  recent progress  in  the  science  of  visualisation  and  computational  fluid  dynamics is astounding. In this book, effort has been made to introduce  students /engineers  to  fluid mechanics  by  making explanations  easy  to
understand, including recent information and comparing the theories with  actual phenomena.

Fluid mechanics has hitherto been divided into ‘hydraulics’, dealing with the experimental side, and ‘hydrodynamics’, dealing with the theoretical side. In recent years, however, both have merged into an inseparable single science. A great deal was contributed by developments in the science of visualisation and  by  the progress in computational  fluid dynamics using  advances in computers. This book is written from this point of view. The following features are included in the book
1.  Many illustrations, photographs and items of interest are presented for easy reading.
2.  Portrait  sketches  of  17  selected  pioneers who contributed  to  the development  of  fluid  mechanics  are  inserted, together with  brief descriptions of their achievements in the field.
3.  Related major books and papers are presented in footnotes to facilitate advanced study.
4.  Exercises appear at the ends of chapters  to test understanding of  the chapter topic.
5. Special emphasis is placed on flow visualisation and computational fluid 14 colour plates to assist understanding.

Books and papers by senior scholars throughout the world are referenced, with special acknowledgements to some of them. Among these, Professor R.F. Boucher, one of my oldest friends, assumed the role of editor of the English edition and made numerous revisions and additions by checking the book minutely during his busy  time as Principal and Vice-Chancellor of UMIST. Another is Professor K.  Kanayama  of  Musashino Academia Musicae who made many suggestions as my  private language adviser. In addition,  Mr Matthew Flynn and Dr Liz  Gooster of  Arnold  took  much trouble over the tedious editing work.I take this opportunity  to offer my deepest appreciation to them all.
