Engineering Fluid Mechanics Textbook: Any Suggestions?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers around recommendations for Engineering Fluid Mechanics textbooks suitable for engineering applications. Participants mention classic texts such as "Mechanics, Second Edition: Volume 6 (Course of Theoretical Physics)" and express a preference for books that emphasize practical applications over theoretical content. One user specifically seeks a textbook that serves as a prerequisite for an engineering aerodynamics course, indicating a need for resources that bridge theory and practical engineering challenges.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic fluid mechanics concepts
  • Familiarity with engineering applications of fluid dynamics
  • Knowledge of theoretical physics principles
  • Interest in aerodynamics and its foundational texts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Mechanics, Second Edition: Volume 6 (Course of Theoretical Physics)" for engineering applications
  • Explore introductory fluid mechanics textbooks with practical examples
  • Investigate resources on engineering aerodynamics
  • Review critiques of Landau and Lifshitz's fluid mechanics book for insights on theoretical versus practical content
USEFUL FOR

Engineering students, educators in fluid mechanics, and professionals seeking practical applications of fluid dynamics in aerodynamics and related fields.

I'm looking for a good Engineering Fluid Mechanics textbook.

Any suggestions?

I tried the Landau and Lif****z book, and didn't like it, seemed to me to be too theoretical, not many applications or problems. I'm looking for one with engineering applications, to serve as the prerequisite for an engineering aerodynamics course I want to take next year.

I found a couple of books, I'll post here if they're any good once I'm done with them.
