SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on recommendations for comprehensive fluid mechanics textbooks. Key suggestions include "Fluid Mechanics, 9th Edition" by Streeter, Wylie, and Bedford, and "Fluid Mechanics; White, 6th Edition." Participants emphasize that these texts provide a solid foundation in fluid mechanics while avoiding overly complex problem-solving techniques. Additionally, "Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics" by Munson, Okiishi, and Young is mentioned as a valuable resource.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Familiarity with engineering mathematics
  • Knowledge of physical sciences, particularly physics
  • Experience with problem-solving in engineering contexts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Fluid Mechanics, 9th Edition" by Streeter, Wylie, and Bedford
  • Explore "Fluid Mechanics; White, 6th Edition" for additional insights
  • Investigate "Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics" by Munson, Okiishi, and Young
  • Study advanced fluid dynamics topics through online courses or workshops
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and professionals in engineering fields, particularly those specializing in fluid mechanics and related disciplines.

I've used a few books for fluid mechanics and I think this one is the best by far;

Fluid Mechanics; White - 6th Edition

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0073309206/?tag=pfamazon01-20

It's up to date, covers all the basics, and also doesn't have any practice problems that require asinine tricks to solve them.
