This textbook gives a comprehensive introduction to the principles and applications of fluid mechanics. This edition continues to offer a wide range of real-world applications, diverse examples, and many problems to help students bridge the gap between theory and practice. The book focuses on the visual aspects of fluid mechanics, with an increased number of real-world photos and videos to aid visualization and better engage students with the material. Each concept is presented in simple terms before moving on to more complex examples, which helps develop problem-solving skills gradually.

Book is designed as an introductory undergraduate fluid mechanics course for mechanical engineering, civil engineering, dam and resources water engineering, chemical and petroleum engineering students of all disciplines. The text covers all major aspects of fluid mechanics, including fundamental concepts in fluid mechanics, pressure distribution in fluids, hydrostatic forces on plane and curved surfaces, buoyancy and stability of floating body, basic concept of fluid flow, dynamics of fluid flow, applications of momentum theorem, applications of energy equation, dynamic similarity and dimensional analysis, viscous incompressible flow in pipe (laminar and turbulent) and introduction to boundary layer. The book continues to maintain a student friendly approach and fluid mechanics problem solving orientation. Presentations are limited to basic topics in those areas discipline. The purpose of the book is to present the principles and concepts of fluid mechanics in each subject with complete derivation of basic equations from initial principles as relevant to student learning. The numerous worked examples and unsolved exercise problems to provide the reader with an awareness of the general applicability of principles and concepts of fluid mechanics. Engineering students learn best when they are motivated by problems. This is particularly true when the real practical examples are working through each chapter.
