White's Fluid Mechanics , sixth edition will continue the text's tradition of excellent problems of different types, precision and accuracy, and good application of concepts to engineering. This is the number one supplement package in Fluids! The new 6th edition will feature the best general problem-solving approach to date, presented at the start of the book and carefully integrated in all examples. Students can progress from general ones to those involving design, multiple steps and computer usage. Word problems are included to build readers’ conceptual understanding of the subject, and FE Exam problems (in multiple-choice format) are included. EES (Engineering Equation Solver) software is included so that students can effectively use the computer to model, solve and modify typical fluid mechanics problems. A DVD containing EES is free with every book, and Appendix E describes its use and application to fluid mechanics. A limited version of EES, that does not expire, is included on the CD ROM. Users of the book can also download and distribute the full Academic Version of EES, which is renewed annually with a new username and password. Also an animation library will be included as well as 150 algorithmic problems, in ARIS, McGraw's-Hill's electronic homework management system.
Best fluid dynamics book i ever encountered. I'm still atonished, an engineering book with a good reads profile! eager to find my bible, Moran & Shapiro
Almost all books in fluid mechanics for engineering undergraduates are more or less the same. The reason I chose to read this book (cover to cover by now having done teaching assistantship in solid mechanics multiple times) is that I picked it up in third semester for AML160 Mechanics of Fluids during undergrad in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Delhi. At that time I mostly ran through the examples for help in doing the course assignments. Over time, I got opportunities to read/describe various sections to students and I found that the book is very helpful in that. Hence, I would definitely recommend the book to not just students but instructors as well.
You want to know that you don't know anything about math and science...this is the read for you. Loved the class, the concepts, etc.. what a book --- yes, Rob, it counts as a book...
A valuable resource for students and professionals: Whether you're a student seeking to grasp the basics or an engineer looking to apply these principles in your work, this book is an invaluable tool.
