Fluid Mechanics: A Problem-Solving Approach provides a clear distinction between integral formulation and the different formulation of conservation law.

Including a detailed discussion on pipe flow correlations, entrance length correlations, and plotting of Moody diagram, the book works through the comprehensive coverage of fluid mechanics with a gradual introduction of theory in a straightforward, practical approach. The book includes numerous end-of-chapter problems to enhance student understanding and different solving approaches. It features coverage of nanofluids and chapters on jets, waves in ocean and rivers, boundary layer separation, and Thwaites integral method, which are not typically covered in an introductory course.
