Based on the authors' highly successful text Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, A Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, 5th Edition is a streamlined text, covering the basic concepts and principles of fluid mechanics in a modern style. The text clearly presents basic analysis techniques and addresses practical concerns and applications, such as pipe flow, open-channel flow, flow measurement, and drag and lift. Extra problems in every chapter including open-ended problems, problems based on the accompanying videos, laboratory problems, and computer problems emphasize the practical application of principles. More than 100 worked examples provide detailed solutions to a variety of problems.
