Fluid Mechanics
A Very Short Introduction

Why does the plane fly As a PhD student I liked the fact that the book not only skims the most important concepts in the field (familiar to the engineers and researchers alike) but also broadens your horizons: it brings together all the branches of this the most versatile of sciences and connects the......more

I would like to read an ebook version because the topic doesn't lend itself well to audio format.......more

Fascinating throughout, at the heart of this gem is the rational understanding of phase transition in fluid dynamics through the appreciation of dimensionless numbers such as the Reynolds Number. Real world applications are illustrated. Only elementary mathematics is required as the author eschews t......more

I love this series of books, I’ve read many, and learnt lots, but this one was just confusing. It was just lots of talk about various formulas, which didn’t tell me anything, just confused me. I think I’d need to read several other books on fluid dynamics, then maybe try again, maybe then I’ll under......more
