Hi! I'm looking for a somehow "serious" textbook about fluidmechanics, something like the book by Kundu-Cohen...a book talking about it without by-passing the math involved (tensor analysis) like many books do! Thanks
Fluid mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of fluids, which include liquids and gases, and the forces acting on them. It deals with the principles of fluid motion and how fluids interact with their surroundings.
A fluid mechanics textbook usually covers topics such as fluid properties, fluid statics, fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle, conservation of mass and energy, flow equations, and applications of fluid mechanics in various fields.
Fluid mechanics has many practical applications in our daily lives, such as in the design of airplanes, cars, and ships, in the production of energy through hydroelectric power plants, and in the study of weather patterns and ocean currents.
Fluid mechanics involves the use of various mathematical concepts, such as calculus, differential equations, and vector calculus. These are used to describe the motion of fluids and to solve complex fluid flow problems.
Yes, there are several laws and principles that govern fluid mechanics, including Pascal's law, Archimedes' principle, Bernoulli's principle, and the laws of conservation of mass and energy. These laws and principles help us understand and predict the behavior of fluids in different situations.
