Engineering Fluid Mechanics book that's pure integration/vector calculus

[mech8]

Hello. The textbook that was assigned to my class is not a good fit for my professor. The textbook simplifies the basic force equations so that there are no general equations with integrals or vector calculus calculations. Can anybody recommend a Fluid Mechanics book or books that deal only with these general equations and does not simplify them to equations for only specific situations? Thank you.

Could you let us know first, which text assigned in your class and you do not like?

Munson, Young and Okiishi's Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics

Professor Fitzpatrick at UT Austin has a nice, free online book that may work for you:

Okiishi's text is typically a good undergraduate introductory text to the subject. If you do not like it, check Frank White's text. It is a bit more advanced than Okiishi's. Here is a link:

If your major is physics rather than engineering, then a different class of texts might be appealing to you. Examples are Landau and Lifshitz Fluid Mechanics, and Tritton physical dynamics.
