Book Reviews of An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics: Principles of Analysis and Design
Book Review: Not for beginners?
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book first when preparing tutorials in fluid mechanics for 3rd-year chemical engineering students. Maybe there are other textbooks which give more detailed derivations (although I'd like to see them!), but Middleman's text is one of the extremely rare books where mathematical derivations are balanced with detailed accounts of the motivation behind it all. In fluid mechanics, it seems almost unique in this respect, and I found it a pleasure to read.
Summary of An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics: Principles of Analysis and Design
This comprehensive text links abstract mathematics to engineering applications in order to provide a clear and thorough exploration of fluid dynamics. Focus is on the development of mathematical models of physical phenomena and the wide range of technologies available to students. Filled with examples and problems inspired by real engineering applications, this resource will not only teach, but motivate students to further emerge themselves in the field.Engineering Books
