Good for wordy explanation, bad for mathematics 5 Nov 2006

By Mr. S. Patel

Format:Paperback

The book gives an excellent word description for fluid mechanics especially if you are new to it. However the mathematical side isn't as good because there arent enough examples to help you through.

A good overview of Fluid mechanics 30 Sep 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

This book takes a good look at fluid mechanics, but I found it a bit too complex. It could do with more worked examples.

Very difficult to understand! 2 Oct 2001

By Azad Ibrahimov - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This book is written in a manner that makes it more useful for professors than students. Virtually no derivation paths for formulas are shown, which makes it almost impossible or very time-consuming to understand where they come from.

Worst Fluid Mech books ever 14 July 2002

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

For those who are thinking of getting this book because your lecturers or instructors recommend it, please please find some other alternatives instead. Do not ever buy this book.

This book is much smaller, thinner and has bigger fonts compared to other Fluid Mech textbooks. After flipping through a few pages, it is obvious that it lacks clear explanations and examples which will be very hard for students to fully understand Fluid Mechanics.

Personally, books that are more suitable for undergraduates will be :
Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics by Bruce R. Munson, Donald F.Young & Theodore H. Okiishi
Fluid Mechanics by Frank M. White
Introduction to Fluid Mechanics by Fox & Mcdonald

Excellent book 6 April 2009

By S. Karra - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I would like to differ with the other reviewer's. I think this book is an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in knowing about the actual physical concepts than just a bunch of equations. The author clearly explains the underlying concepts behind each and every topic and he spends more time on the basics as those are the building blocks for more complex topics. I personally dont not think that the author has skipped any rigor in presenting the mathematical equations and anyone with decent knowledge of partial differential equations and tensor theory can figure them out.

I would strongly recommend this book compared to other standard books like "Fluid mechanics by White" (Though for undergraduates who are required to solve more problems that is still the prescribed one). For people who want more detailed mathematical derivations "Fluid mechanics by Pijush Kundu" is an excellent resource which can used in conjunction with this book to gain more insight.
