The Book “Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics” is very helpful to review the fundamental of fluid mechanics. It was shipped very quickly… I recommend to buy this book if you really need to review the topics of fluid mechanics.
Thanks.

In describing this textbook, one should carefully delineate between the authors text and the publishers product. The authors text is excellent: the publisher’s product is not. I especially like Chapter Six’s Differential Analysis of a Fluid Flow. This explanation is much easier to follow than what’s found in any of my other fluids textbooks.
Now the ugly rub is that this is a Wiley textbook, so it’s exorbitantly expensive, uses Imperial units obfuscate example explanations, and it includes Wiley’s terrible databank problems. From the forth edition onward, there seems little or no real correlation between the text and problems in the chapter, so I assume that is when the publisher switched from the author’s problems to their own test bank.
When I finish this class and sell back the expensive textbook (for whatever I can still get), I’ll buy an old edition for reference. I see that non-current editions are selling for about 2% of what the new edition goes for, which is a better reflection of real value in the market (as opposed to artificially inflated prices for ‘required’ texts).
