Book excerpt: One of the core areas of study in civil engineering concerns water that encompasses fluid mechanics, hydraulics and hydrology. Fluid mechanics provide the mathematical and scientific basis for hydraulics and hydrology that also have added empirical and practical contents. The knowledge contained in these three subjects is necessary for the optimal and equitable management of this precious resource that is not always available when and where it is needed, sometimes with conflicting demands. The objective of Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics, Hydrology and Water Resources for Civil Engineers is to assimilate these core study areas into a single source of knowledge. The contents highlight the theory and applications supplemented with worked examples and also include comprehensive references for follow-up studies. The primary readership is civil engineering students who would normally go through these core subject areas sequentially spread over the duration of their studies. It is also a reference for practicing civil engineers in the water sector to refresh and update their skills.

Book excerpt: The contents of this book covers the material required in the Fluid Mechanics Graduate Core Course (MEEN-621) and in Advanced Fluid Mechanics, a Ph. D-level elective course (MEEN-622), both of which I have been teaching at Texas A&M University for the past two decades. While there are numerous undergraduate fluid mechanics texts on the market for engineering students and instructors to choose from, there are only limited texts that comprehensively address the particular needs of graduate engineering fluid mechanics courses. To complement the lecture materials, the instructors more often recommend several texts, each of which treats special topics of fluid mechanics. This circumstance and the need to have a textbook that covers the materials needed in the above courses gave the impetus to provide the graduate engineering community with a coherent textbook that comprehensively addresses their needs for an advanced fluid mechanics text. Although this text book is primarily aimed at mechanical engineering students, it is equally suitable for aerospace engineering, civil engineering, other engineering disciplines, and especially those practicing professionals who perform CFD-simulation on a routine basis and would like to know more about the underlying physics of the commercial codes they use. Furthermore, it is suitable for self study, provided that the reader has a sufficient knowledge of calculus and differential equations. In the past, because of the lack of advanced computational capability, the subject of fluid mechanics was artificially subdivided into inviscid, viscous (laminar, turbulent), incompressible, compressible, subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic flows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering Fluid Mechanics guides students from theory to application, emphasizing critical thinking, problem solving, estimation, and other vital engineering skills. Clear, accessible writing puts the focus on essential concepts, while abundant illustrations, charts, diagrams, and examples illustrate complex topics and highlight the physical reality of fluid dynamics applications. Over 1,000 chapter problems provide the “deliberate practice”—with feedback—that leads to material mastery, and discussion of real-world applications provides a frame of reference that enhances student comprehension. The study of fluid mechanics pulls from chemistry, physics, statics, and calculus to describe the behavior of liquid matter; as a strong foundation in these concepts is essential across a variety of engineering fields, this text likewise pulls from civil engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and more to provide a broadly relevant, immediately practicable knowledge base. Written by a team of educators who are also practicing engineers, this book merges effective pedagogy with professional perspective to help today’s students become tomorrow’s skillful engineers.

Book excerpt: This book systematically introduces engineering fluid mechanics in a simple and understandable way, focusing on the basic concepts, principles and methods. Engineering fluid mechanics is necessary for professionals and students in fields such as civil, environmental, mechanical, and petroleum engineering. Unlike most of the current textbooks and monographs, which are too complicated and include huge numbers of math formulas and equations, this book introduces essential concepts and flow rules in a clear and elementary way that can be used in further research. In addition, it provides numerous useful tables and diagrams that can be quickly and directly checked for industry applications. Furthermore, it highlights the connection between free flow and porous flow, which can aid advanced interdisciplinary research such as nanotech and environmental science. Last but not least, each chapter presents a variety of problems to offer readers a better understanding about the principles and applications of fluid mechanics.

Book excerpt: "This is a textbook for a first course in fluid mechanics taken by engineering students.The unique features of this textbook are that it: (1) focuses on the basic principles fluid mechanics that engineering students are likely to apply in their subsequent required undergraduate coursework, (2) presents the material in a rigorous fashion, and (3) provides many quantitative examples and illustrations of fluid mechanics applications. Students in all engineering disciplines where fluid mechanics is a core course should find this textbook stimulating and useful. In some chapters, the nature of the material necessitates a bias towards practical applications in certain engineering disciplines, and the disciplinary area of the author also contributes to the selection and presentation of practical examples throughout the text. In this latter respect, practical examples related to civil engineering applications are particularly prevalent"--

Book excerpt: Fluid Mechanics for Civil Engineers - Department of Civil Engineering by Bruce Hunt (New-Zealand)Fluid mechanics is a traditional cornerstone in the education of civil engineers. As numerousbooks on this subject suggest, it is possible to introduce fluid mechanics to students in manyways. This text is an outgrowth of lectures I have given to civil engineering students at theUniversity of Canterbury during the past 24 years. It contains a blend of what most teacherswould call basic fluid mechanics and applied hydraulics. Chapter 1 contains an introduction to fluid and flow properties together with a review of vectorcalculus in preparation for chapter 2, which contains a derivation of the governing equations offluid motion. Chapter 3 covers the usual topics in fluid statics - pressure distributions, forces onplane and curved surfaces, stability of floating bodies and rigid body acceleration of fluids.Chapter 4 introduces the use of control volume equations for one-dimensional flow calculations.Chapter 5 gives an overview for the problem of solving partial differential equations for velocityand pressure distributions throughout a moving fluid and chapters 6-9 fill in the details ofcarrying out these calculations for irrotational flows, laminar and turbulent flows, boundary-layerflows, secondary flows and flows requiring the calculation of lift and drag forces. Chapter 10,which introduces dimensional analysis and model similitude, requires a solid grasp of chapters1-9 if students are to understand and use effectively this very important tool for experimentalwork. Chapters 11-14 cover some traditionally important application areas in hydraulicengineering. Chapter 11 covers steady pipe flow, chapter 12 covers steady open channel flow,chapter 13 introduces the method of characteristics for solving waterhammer problems inunsteady pipe flow, and chapter 14 builds upon material in chapter 13 by using characteristicsto attack the more difficult problem of unsteady flow in open channels. Throughout, I have triedto use mathematics, experimental evidence and worked examples to describe and explain theelements of fluid motion in some of the many different contexts encountered by civil engineers.The study of fluid mechanics requires a subtle blend of mathematics and physics that manystudents find difficult to master. Classes at Canterbury tend to be large and sometimes have asmany as a hundred or more students. Mathematical skills among these students vary greatly, fromthe very able to mediocre to less than competent. As any teacher knows, this mixture of studentbackgrounds and skills presents a formidable challenge if students with both stronger and weakerbackgrounds are all to obtain something of value from a course. My admittedly less than perfectapproach to this dilemma has been to emphasize both physics and problem solving techniques.For this reason, mathematical development of the governing equations, which is started inChapter 1 and completed in Chapter 2, is covered at the beginning of our first course withoutrequiring the deeper understanding that would be expected of more advanced students.A companion volume containing a set of carefully chosen homework problems, together withcorresponding solutions, is an important part of courses taught from this text. Most students canlearn problem solving skills only by solving problems themselves, and I have a strongly heldbelief that this practice is greatly helped when students have access to problem solutions forchecking their work and for obtaining help at difficult points in the solution process. A series oflaboratory experiments is also helpful. However, courses at Canterbury do not have time toinclude a large amount of experimental work. For this reason, I usually supplement material inthis text with several of Hunter Rouse's beautifully made fluid-mechanics films.
