Discussion and numerous example problems. Encourages and teaches students to model, simplify and solve fluid dynamic problems. Text stresses the use of mathematical analysis, experimental and computer modeling in solving problems. In this way students are introduced to various methods of engineering analysis. Text promotes an educational approach required by current engineering problems which are multidisciplinary, involving input from other fields of study.
Students learn to view problems in a broader perspective.
Students are exposed to the various theoretical representations in a distinct and clear manner. These important topics in fluid mechanics are covered within the context of analysis, by highlighting the simultaneous use of all available analysis methods. Helps students avoid unnecessary confusion about the relation of these topics to the fundamental theory of fluid dynamics. Allows instructors to select which topics they will cover. Helps students comprehend the material by showing the interrelatedness of the material.
