Introduction to Fluid Mechanics 1st Edition by Yasuki Nakayama (PDF)

Description

Fluid mechanics is often seen as the most difficult core subject encountered by engineering students. The problem stems from the necessity to visualise complex flow patterns and fluid behaviour modelled by high level mathematics. This text overcomes this difficulty by introducing the concepts through everyday examples, before moving on to the more involved mathematics. The various theories of flow have been correlated with real phenomena and, combined with numerous figures and photographs, help the reader place the subject in context. Examples from a broad range of engineering disciplines are included making this textbook suitable for all engineers studying fluid systems as part of their degree.Introduction to Fluid Mechanics is translated from the best-selling Japanese book by Professor Yasuki Nakayama, and adapted for the international market by Professor Robert Boucher.

Editorial Reviews: Review “Their writing style is informal, the material is easily accessible and studiously avoids excessive mathematical detail…the book is richly illustrated with line drawings…14 beautiful colour plates…Professor Nakayama is one of the world’s leading authorities in flow visualisation.” –Flow Measurement and Instrumentation About the Author Yasuki Nakayama was an internationally influential and respected expert in both mechanical engineering and visualization. During his career he held posts in Japan including President of the Future Technology Research Institute, Professor of fluid mechanics and visualization at Tokai University, and at the National Railway Research Institute. He was also a Visiting Professor at Southampton University, President of the Visualization Society of Japan, and Director of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineering. He published over 180 research papers and more than 10 books, was a cofounder of the Journal of Visualization, and his research earned him many awards and distinctions including the Medal with Purple Ribbon from the Emperor of Japan. He sadly passed away in 2016 before this book was published.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is by far the most clear and interesting introduction to fluid dynamics I have seen yet, designed for the undergraduate physics, or engineering, student studying over the course of one semester. It includes clear, but not fussy, black and white line drawings, and a little bit of historical context to go along with the physics. It it neither too mathematical nor overly simplistic.
