Like previous editions, this ninth edition of Massey¿s Mechanics of Fluids introduces the basic principles of fluid mechanics in a detailed and clear manner. This best-selling text book provides the sound physical understanding of fluid flow focusing on the engineering applications of fluid flow, rather than mathematical techniques. Students are gradually introduced to the subject, withthe text moving from the simple to the complex, and from the familiar to the unfamiliar. A new chapter closely examines the modern context of fluid mechanics, where climate change, new forms of energy generation and fresh water conservation are pressing issues. Essential for an honours degree course in civil or mechanical engineering as well as courses in aeronautical and chemical engineering.
