Help students gain an understanding of fluid mechanics and strengthen their abilities to analyze this important phenomena encountered by practicing engineers with MECHANICS OF FLUIDS, 5E. The authors use proven learning tools to help students visualize many difficult-to-understand aspects of fluid mechanics. They present numerous phenomena that are often not discussed in other texts, such as entrance flows, the difference between wakes and separated regions, free-stream fluctuations and turbulence, and vorticity. A unique accompanying Multimedia Fluid Mechanics DVD allows students to gain insight and develop intuition about fluid flow as they see the mathematical relationships through movies and conduct actual simulations. NEW SECTION REVIEWS THE AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF ROTATING WIND TURBINE BLADES. This new discussion in Chapter 4 teaches students to calculate the lift, drag, normal, tangential, thrust forces and torque on an airfoil. New real-life examples and problems are integrated into the material to demonstrate common applications. REVISED COVERAGE HIGHLIGHTS COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS. This material in Chapter 14 now includes additional completed examples that demonstrate how to use numerical methods to solve transient and steady state fluid flow problems. The chapter offers ideal content for either an advanced undergraduate fluid mechanics course or introductory graduate course. VIDEO TUTORIALS AND MINI-EXAMS OFFER HELPFUL STUDY RESOURCES. Each Video Tutorial focuses around a specific learning objective and presents clear audio and visual explanations of the concepts. Twenty-two Mini-Exams, each containing several actual exam problems, offer your students helpful tools for self-study. Each Mini-Exam covers one or more sections of the textbook. INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL ADDRESSES THE FUNDAMENTALS OF FLUID MECHANICS. Students cover the basic fundamentals in Chapters 1-9 with carefully selected content designed to introduce all of the key areas of fluid mechanics. MULTIMEDIA FLUID MECHANICS DVD-ROM CLEARLY ILLUSTRATES CONCEPTS. This engaging DVD that corresponds to this edition uses actual fluid flows to illustrate the specific concepts presented in the text. The DVD includes nearly 1000 fluids videos and more than 20 virtual labs and simulations. Students can conduct interactive simulations to ensure their understanding. NUMEROUS HOMEWORK PROBLEMS PROVIDE VARIETY OF PRACTICE. Your students gain hands-on experience in solving problems at various levels of difficulty with this edition's abundant selection of homework problems. Many problems have multiple parts to better simulate actual work experiences. FE/EIT EXAM-TYPE PROBLEMS PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING EXAM. Your students gain important practice working with problems similar to those on the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) or Engineer in Training (EIT) exam. These problems are clearly marked with an exam icon throughout the chapters. ADVANCED MATHEMATICS IS KEPT TO A MINIMUM FOR CLARITY. Vector and tensor calculus and solutions to partial differential equations are kept to a minimum so students are better able to follow the conversion of concepts into mathematical expressions. STUDENT'S SOLUTION MANUAL HELPS STRENGTHEN PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS. Your students have the tools they need to improve problem solving skills. The manual includes clear solutions with all steps to solve selected textbook problems.
