Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics and Dynamics

Fluid mechanics and dynamics are foundational pillars in the study of engineering and physical sciences. The behavior of fluids—whether gases or liquids—affects everything from the flight of an airplane to the circulation of blood in the human body. Understanding how fluids move, interact, and respond to forces is essential for students and professionals in mechanical, civil, chemical, aerospace, and biomedical engineering, among other fields.
This book, Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics and Dynamics, is designed to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the principles governing fluid behavior.
It begins with basic concepts and gradually advances to more complex topics such as viscous flow, turbulence, compressibility, and boundary layers. Emphasis is placed on physical intuition, mathematical clarity, and practical application.
The material has been organized to support both classroom learning and self-study. Worked examples, clear illustrations, and end-of-chapter problems help reinforce theoretical understanding. Whether you are encountering fluid mechanics for the first time or seeking a refresher, this text aims to build a solid foundation for further study and application. We sincerely hope this book serves as a valuable resource in your journey through the fascinating world of fluid dynamics.
