Fluid Mechanics Book recommandation

AI Thread Summary
Fluid Mechanics by Young and Munson is a commonly used textbook, but users seek additional resources for more example problems. Recommended alternatives include Batchelor's text, which is affordable and serves as a good supplement, and White's book, noted for its quality despite being more expensive. Other suggestions include "Fluid Principles" by Alan Vardy for conceptual understanding and "Elementary Fluid Dynamics" by Acheson for mathematical insights. Volume 6 of Landau-Lifgarbagez is also highlighted as a comprehensive resource covering extensive fluid mechanics topics. These recommendations aim to enhance understanding and problem-solving in introductory fluid mechanics for civil engineering students.

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-Lifgarbagez.Covers everything you'll ever need plus more.

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet?'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
