Dedication
This textbook is dedicated to my wife and family whose patience during this undertaking has been a source of strength and consolation, and to the many fine instructors and students with whom I have interacted who have all in some way highlighted the allure of this subject for me.
About the Authors
Pijush K. Kundu, 19411994, was born in Calcutta, India. He earned a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from Calcutta University in 1963 and an MS degree in Engineering from Roorkee University in 1965. After a few years as a lecturer at the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, he came to the United States and earned a PhD at Pennsylvania State University in 1972. He then followed a lifelong interest in oceanography and held research and teaching positions at Oregon State University and the University de Oriente in Venezuela, finally settling at the Oceanographic Center of Nova Southeastern University, where he spent most of his career contributing to the understanding of coastal dynamics, mixed-layer physics, internal waves, and Indian Ocean dynamics. He authored the first edition of this textbook, which he dedicated to his mother, wife, daughter, and son.
Ira M. Cohen, 19372007, earned a BS degree from Polytechnic University in 1958 and a PhD from Princeton in 1963, both in aeronautical engineering. He taught at Brown University for three years prior to joining the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania in 1966. There he became a world-renowned scholar in the areas of continuum plasmas, electrostatic probe theories and plasma diagnostics, dynamics and heat transfer of lightly ionized gases, low current arc plasmas, laminar shear layer theory, and matched asymptotics in fluid mechanics. He served as Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from 1992 to 1997. During his 41 years as a faculty member, he distinguished himself through his integrity, candor, sense of humor, pursuit of physical fitness, unrivaled dedication to academics, fierce defense of high scholarly standards, and passionate commitment to teaching.
David R. Dowling, 1960, grew up in southern California where early experiences with fluid mechanics included swimming, surfing, sailing, flying model aircraft, and trying to throw a curve ball. At the California Institute of Technology, he earned BS (82), MS (83), and PhD (88) degrees in Applied Physics and Aeronautics. In 1992, after a year at Boeing Aerospace & Electronics and three at the Applied Physics Laboratory of the University of Washington, he joined the faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan, where he has since taught and conducted research in fluid mechanics and acoustics. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Acoustical Society of America. Prof. Dowling is an avid swimmer, is married, and has seven children.
Preface
After the fifth edition of this textbook appeared in print in September of 2011 and I had the chance to use it for instruction, a wide variety of external and self-generated critical commentary was collected to begin the planning for this sixth edition. First of all, I would like the thank all of the books readers and reviewers worldwide who provided commentary, noted deficiencies, recommended changes, and identified errors. I have done my best to correct the errors and balance your many fine suggestions against the available time for revisions and the desire to keep the printed text approximately the same length while effectively presenting this subject to students at the advanced-undergraduate or beginning-graduate level. To this end, I hope this books readership continues to send suggestions, constructive criticism, and notification of needed corrections for this 6th Edition of Fluid Mechanics.
