Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics

by Bruce R. Munson, Theodore H. Okiishi, Donald F. Young

Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, 7 Edition offers comprehensive topical coverage, with varied examples and problems, application of visual component of fluid mechanics, and strong focus on effective learning. The text enables the gradual development of confidence in problem solving. The authors’ have designed their presentation to enable the gradual development of reader confidence in problem solving. Each important concept is introduced in easy-to-understand terms before more complicated examples are discussed. Continuing this book's tradition of extensive real-world applications, the 7 edition includes more Fluid in the News case study boxes in each chapter, new problem types, an increased number of real-world photos, and additional videos to augment the text material and help generate student interest in the topic. Example problems have been updated and numerous new photographs, figures, and graphs have been included. In addition, there are more videos designed to aid and enhance comprehension, support visualization skill building and engage students more deeply with the material and concepts.

Offers intuition throughout. I particularly love the fact that not only does it offer insight as far as the physics of fluids go, but also it offers intuition as far as the mathematics of fluids go. Comparing It with one of the giants of fluid mechanics textbooks, which is Cengel and Cimbala's book, I would say that at some points Cengel's book is just a bit more insightful but it is at a lower mathematical level. Now, an engineer/physics major should want this higher mathematical level because it is not overwhelming but it is also not very simple. So, it does not oversimplify the phenomenons(like Cengel does at a few points) and it just hits the right balance. So, someone should choose between a book like this and a book like Cengel's. Someone wanting full explanation of the underlying physics along with subtle point, he should look at other types of textbooks, the ones written by physicists for physicists. For an engineer though, he must choose what he prefers. If he prefers a full knowledge of the underlying mathematics and apply them at a more simple level than the mathematics suggest but not oversimplified, he should go with Munson's book. For somebody who does not care for the full mathematical picture but wants to know the full physics more qualitatively and apply them with simpler mathematics, he should ho with Cengel's. Whatever you choice, know that this book is great.

basic thing to become an engineer

if you want to know what "fluid mechanics" means , just study this book . awesome !

[Morris Yen]

Well-written book with colors and is easy to read and understand
The notations are common and relate to the ones I have learned in college physics courses
Recommended to students studying fluid mechanics.

5 star for this book but not for my teacher(just kidding, he is awesome)

[David de Oliveira]

I hate a partial derivative as much as the next, but ultimately useful for aeronautics

i want to read this book ..
