General fluid mechanics
Description
Book Introduction
Fluid mechanics can be broadly divided into fluid statics and fluid dynamics, and fluids can be classified into incompressible fluids and compressible fluids.
Both incompressible and compressible fluids are further divided into inviscid and viscous fluids.
Therefore, this book covers the basic concepts of fluid mechanics, then fluid statics, and from Chapter 3 onwards, all of the fields of fluid dynamics.

CHAPTER 12 APPENDIX

Publisher's Review
Fluid mechanics has been around for a long time, from the time Archimedes of ancient Greece explained the principles of hydraulics and buoyancy, to the measurement of river levels. However, with the development of modern science in the 17th century, it began to be systematically developed as an academic discipline through theoretical and mathematical advancements by Newton, Bernoulli, Euler, and others.

Fluid mechanics is the study of the dynamic relationships of fluids at rest or in motion.
Specifically, it deals with theories and practical problems related to fluids in all engineering fields, including fluid machinery that uses air, water, or other fluids as the working fluid, as well as shipbuilding and aviation, civil engineering, and chemical engineering.
In mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics occupies a very important position along with industrial thermodynamics and material mechanics.
Until now, fluid mechanics has been developed into two branches: theoretical fluid mechanics (hydrodynamics), which deals with ideal fluids from a theoretical or mathematical perspective, and hydraulics, which looks at the behavior of viscous fluids, that is, actual fluids such as water, from a practical and experimental perspective. However, in recent years, it has become common to group these two branches and deal with them under the single framework of fluid dynamics.

The authors have been researching and teaching fluid-related fields for a long time, but have always felt it was a pity that there was no appropriate book on fluid mechanics.
This is because the majority of published books on fluid mechanics so far are amphibious, and these books omit detailed explanations as they attempt to describe the broad field of fluid mechanics in a limited number of pages, and they emphasize practical aspects, lacking theoretical treatment.
Therefore, this book allows students to easily understand the basic concepts and theories of fluid flow through sufficient examples using their knowledge of differential equations and vector analysis.

Fluid mechanics can be broadly divided into fluid statics and fluid dynamics, and fluids can be classified into incompressible fluids and compressible fluids.
Both incompressible and compressible fluids are further divided into inviscid and viscous fluids.
Therefore, this book covers the basic concepts of fluid mechanics, then fluid statics, and from Chapter 3 onwards, all of the fields of fluid dynamics.

Next, we covered momentum analysis of fluid systems to determine the speed of moving objects, flow of incompressible and inviscid fluids (ideal fluids), dimensional analysis, and similarity laws.
Following the description of incompressible and viscous fluids (real fluids), internal flow of viscous fluids, external flow of viscous fluids, and compressible inviscid fluids, open-channel flow was finally described.
