Infos

A concise introduction to the physics of low speed fluid mechanics, emphasising fundamental concepts and methods. This text is designed as a single semester coursebook providing a foundation in continuum mechanics. Only a basic knowledge of differential calculus is assumed at the start of the text.

---

Mechanical properties of fluids; thermodynamic properties of fluids; dimensional analysis; fluid statics; fluid kinematics; conservation of mass; frictionless momentum equations - Euler and Bernoulli; one dimensional flow and energy conservation; motion with rotation; velocity potential, stream function and solution by superstition; forces on a body submerged in a moving fluid; control volume applications; viscous fluids, boundary layers and turbulence. Appendices: some vector calculus identities; answers to selected exercies.
