Introduction to Engineering Fluid Mechanics is an engineering textbook that introduces how fluids flow in response to applied stresses. The text provides foundational material relevant to students of mechanical, chemical, aeronautical, aerospace, and civil engineering.
The volume explores core principles ranging from fluid properties and hydrostatics to governing relationships such as Bernoulli's equation, the linear momentum equation, and viscous flow dynamics. Coverage incorporates practical engineering problems, including calculations of jet engine thrust.
While a knowledge of calculus is essential, the textbook maintains a primary focus on physical behavior, dimensions, and dimensional analysis. The first ten chapters serve introductory undergraduate study, whereas the latter half addresses advanced coursework.
