Synopsis

Are You Ready to See Fluid Mechanics In Action? This text comes with a free Fluid Mechanics Phenomena CD-ROM that brings fluid mechanics to life! It contains a series of short video segments that illustrate various aspects of real-world fluid mechanics. Many of the segments show how fluid motion is related to familiar devices and everyday experiences. Each segment also clearly indicates the key fluid mechanics topic being demonstrated and provides a description of the content. Throughout the text you'll find a special video icon that will let you know when it is appropriate to view a particular video clip. The numbering system will indicate which clip is relevant to the fluid mechanics concepts and theory under discussion. Also Available: The Student Solutions Manual-Easy-to-use study tool with detailed solutions to Review Problems found at the end of each chapter in the text. Wiley: Creating the Future of Engineering Education

About this title

From the Inside Flap

Bruce R. Munson, Professor Emeritus of Engineering Mechanics, has been a faculty member at Iowa State university since 1974. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Purdue university and his Ph.D degree from the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics Department of the university of Minnesota in 1970.

From 1970 to 1974, Dr.Munson was on the mechanical engineering faculty of Duke University. From 1964 to 1966, he worked as an engineer in the jet engine fuel control department of Bendix Aerospace Corporation, South Bend, Indiana.

Dr. Munson's main professional activity has been in the area of fluid mechanics education and research. He has been responsible for the development of many fluid mechanics courses for studies in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering science, and agricultural engineering and is the recipient of an Iowa State university Superior engineering Teacher Award and the Iowa State University Alumni Association Faculty Citation.

He has authored and coauthored many theoretical and experimental technical papers on hydrodynamic stability, low Reynolds number flow, secondary flow, and the applications of viscous incompressible flow. He is a member of the American Society for Engineering Engineers, The American Physical Society, and the American society for Engineering Education.
