Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Now readers can quickly learn the basic concepts and principles of modern fluid mechanics with this concise book. It clearly presents basic analysis techniques while also addressing practical concerns and applications, such as pipe flow, open-channel flow, flow measurement, and drag and lift. The fourth edition also integrates detailed diagrams, examples and problems throughout the pages in order to emphasize the practical application of the principles.

This is not a solutions manual to the problems in the textbook. However, knowing that it is still a very helpful resource. There are similar problems from each chapter to help with homework problems and most of the test questions for my course came from this book, so it makes a great study tool. One of the problems was incorrect, you'll find it if you look, they put a decimal in the wrong place before performing a calculation. Other than that, it's a great supplemental instruction tool.

This solutions manual does not provide answers to the questions at the end of each chapter of the fluid mechanics book; instead the solutions correspond to the Review Problems section on the book website. There are around 15 problems worked out per chapter, all of which are easy to follow and understand. This book is a good reference to have but for me isn't worth the money since it doesn't help me work through my homework problems.

Although brief (as the name of the text implies), I have found that this is a wonderful companion text for any fluid mechanics course. Such courses are often taught during the upper level undergrad or entry level grad portions of the C.Eng., Hydrology, M.Eng., and Env.Eng. programs. The selling point in this text is the detail of the diagrams and examples. This alone should interest students. These examples are really good and the level of detail is thorough so that one can easliy apply concepts from problem to problem. My only complaint is minimal. The complaint is that the text is indeed brief and as such, sometimes the wording and explanation suffers. Aside from that, I highly recommend this text as a companion to other texts used in fluid mechancs courses.

This was the book used for my very first course in fluid mechanics and it was great. The text is easy to understand and follow. Example problems are done out fully. The material in the book is not in-depth enough to make it a great reference, but as far as instruction goes, this book is superb. Another great part of this book is that it is not as expensive as other texts. A new copy of the second edition was less than $40 at the campus bookstore.
A note to instructors, the solution manual (which is also excellent) is readily available online - or at least it used to be.
