Fluid Mechanics textbook Recommendations - 1st year Mech Eng

[chuffy]

Hi,

I've done a search and I know that other people have askled for a good textbook for fluid mechanics for a 1st year Mech Eng student however, I'd like to find one with a lot of worked example ploblems.

I'm finding my course notes are too far a jump from the simple examples our lecturer gives compared to the harder tutorial questions.

I faced a similar problem last term when I bought a book for statics. It had plenty of pronlems but no worked soultions for the harder end of chapter questions and I struggled.

We have been recommended the following books:
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics - B.R. young
Introduction to Fluid Mechanics - Fox R.W.

Are there any books that would suit my style of learning of looking at worked examples?

Thanks

You might want to try one of those big books of solved problems, like https://www.amazon.com/dp/0070197849/?tag=pfamazon01-20

FWIW, the solutions manuals for all the major textbooks are pretty easy to get if you do some digging.

you mean digging online?
The lecturer won't put up the solutions until 1 week before the exams

I actually found Young's book to be a good explanation, especially when combined with "Fluids Learn ChemE" video series out of the university of Colorado - boulder. You can youtube the videos or watch them on iTunesU.
