Which Fluid Mechanics Book is Best for Beginners?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking recommendations for beginner-friendly Fluid Mechanics textbooks, specifically comparing "Fluid Mechanics, 4th Ed." by Irving Granet and "Principles of Fluid Mechanics" by Andreas Alexandrou. The inquirer expresses difficulty with Frank M. White’s "Fluid Mechanics, 5th ed." due to its complexity. Additional inquiries arise regarding the relationship between Reynolds number and flow turbulence, as well as the connection between Bernoulli’s equation and the First Law of Thermodynamics. Participants are encouraged to provide insights and resources related to these topics.

Hi Everyone,

Well, I just want to ask…

Which of the following 2 Fluid Mechanics books is good for Beginner:

Title: Fluid Mechanics, 4th Ed.
Author: Irving Granet
ISBN: 0133521702
Publisher: Prentice Hall

Title: Principles of Fluid Mechanics
Author: Andreas Alexandrou
ISBN: 013801762X
Publisher: Prentice Hall

Yes, I already know that Frank M. White’s Fluid Mechanics, 5th ed. Book is good but… His book too hard to understand for me and I just want to ask you a recommendation for above-mentioned 2 Fluid Mechanics books.

Please advance

Tom

please sand me a answer

what is the relationship between the Reynolds number and the degree of turbulence
of the flow.?

what is the relationship between Bernoulli’s equation and the First Law of
Thermodynamics ?
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
