Question on Fluid Dynamics book

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on recommendations for beginner-friendly fluid dynamics textbooks. Participants suggest "An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics" by Stanley Middleman and "Elementary Fluid Dynamics" by D. J. Acheson as suitable options. Frank M. White's textbook is also mentioned as a good choice for beginners. Additionally, for those interested in engine design, resources on internal combustion engines are recommended. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting the right level of textbook based on the reader's background and interests.

Hi All,

Does anyone here can advise me which of the following Fluid Dynamics is good for Beginner?

Title: An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics: Principles of Analysis and Design
Author: Stanley Middleman
ISBN: 0471182095
Publisher: Wiley

Title: Fluid Dynamics: Theoretical and Computational Approaches
Author: Z. U. A. Warsi
ISBN: 0849344360
Publisher: CRC Press

Title: Elementary Fluid Dynamics
Author: D. J. Acheson
ISBN: 0198596790
Publisher: Oxford University Press

May you advice me if none of above books you think is good?

Just for information, I like a kind of R. C. Hibbeler books such as Statics, Dynamics, and Mechanics of Materials to help undergraduate students understanding the fields

Actually, the main purpose of my interest is Formula One / Grand Prix Engine Design.

Please advance

Tom

Aerodynamics, by John. D. Anderson.

Fluid Dynamics = Garbage (I took both)
 
do you want an undergraduate textbook or a post graduate one?

a good beginner textbook of fluid mechanics is by Frank M. White (Mc-Graw Hill)

Andersonn's aerodynamics is also excellent

If you are interested in engine design you should look up books on IC engines.
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...

Thread 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
