We are using Fluid Mechanics by Young and Munson.
It is a good book but I want to get another one for more example problems.
What is a good textbook for introductory Fluid Mechanics?
I am a civil engineering student.
Thanks

Batchelor is a pretty canonical book (http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Dynamics-Cambridge-Mathematical-Library/dp/0521663962). White is also a good one (http://www.amazon.com/Mechanics-Student-McGraw-Hill-Mechanical-Engineering/dp/0073309206/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316573753&sr=1-1). The one you are using is widely used, but Batchelor is cheap and would be a decent supplement and White is another good book but pretty expensive.

Fluid Principles by Alan Vardy will help with understanding.
Elementary Fluid Dynamics by Acheson will help with the maths.
go well
One of the best fluids books is Volume 6 of Landau-Lifshitz.Covers everything you'll ever need plus more.
