With the hope that this work will stimulate an interest in Fluid Mechanics and provide an acceptable guide to its understanding.

It is hoped that this book will provide the student with a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and applications of fluid mechanics. In order to achieve this objective, I have incorporated many of the suggestions and comments from the book's reviewers, university colleagues who have e-mailed me, and from my students. Some of the more important improvements are listed below.

• Rewriting of Text Material. The purpose here is to achieve a further clarification of the material throughout the book, either with an expanded discussion, or by deleting material that seemed not relevant to a particular topic.

• Expanded Topic Coverage. The material in .

• New Example Problems. The addition of new examples to to further illustrate the applications of the theory. Many of the examples throughout the book have been expanded for clarification.

• New Fundamental Problems. These problems have been added to to enhance the student's understanding of the theory and its applications, and to provide a review of the material that can be used to study for exams and the Fundamentals in Engineering Exam.

• New Photos and Enhanced Art. Approximately twenty-four new photos and twenty eight new figures have been added to help the student obtain a better understanding of the subject matter.

• New Equation Summaries. These are found at the end of so that students may use formula sheets when taking exams that require application of some key equations.

Besides the new features mentioned, other outstanding features that define the contents of this book include the following.

Each chapter is organized into well-defined sections that contain an explanation of specific topics, illustrative example problems, and at the end of the chapter, a set of relevant homework problems. The topics within each section are placed into subgroups defined by boldface titles. The purpose of this organization is to present a structured method for introducing each new definition or concept, and to make the book a convenient resource for later reference and review.

This unique feature provides the student with a logical and orderly method to follow when applying the theory that has been discussed in a particular section. The example problems are then solved using this outlined method in order to clarify its numerical application. Realize, however, that once the relevant principles have been mastered, and enough confidence and judgment has been obtained, the student can then develop his or her own procedures for solving problems.

This feature provides a review or summary of the most important concepts in a section, and highlights the most significant points that should be remembered when applying the theory to solve problems. A further review of the material is given at the end of the chapter.

The relevance of knowing the subject matter is reflected by the realistic applications depicted in the many photos placed throughout the book. These photos are often used to show how the principles of fluid mechanics apply to real-world situations.

These problem sets are selectively located just after the example problems. They offer students simple applications of the concepts and therefore provide them with the chance to develop their problem-solving skills before attempting to solve any of the standard problems that follow. Students may consider these problems as extended examples, since they all have complete solutions and answers given in the back of the book. Additionally, the fundamental problems offer students an excellent means of preparing for exams, and they can be used at a later time to prepare for the Fundamentals in Engineering Exam.
