Opis

This text should contain more than sufficient material to support a one-semester course in fluid dynamics. The material in this textbook asserts that the development of a mathematical model is central to the analysis and design of an engineering system or process. It is therefore oriented toward teaching students how to develop mathematical representations (models) of physical phenomena.
