Fluid Mechanics with Civil Engineering Applications, Eleventh Edition

A complete guide to fluid mechanics for engineers―fully updated for current standards

This thoroughly revised, classic guide clearly explains the principles and applications of fluid mechanics and hydraulics in a straightforward manner, without using complicated mathematics. While aimed at undergraduate students, practicing engineers will also benefit from the hands-on information covered. You will explore fluid mechanics fundamentals, pipe and open channel flow, unsteady flow, and much more.

Written by a pair of experienced engineering educators, Fluid Mechanics with Civil Engineering Applications, Eleventh Edition focuses on reducing and streamlining content while retaining its traditional approach to teaching fundamental concepts by solving engineering problems. This overhauled edition features new practical sample problems and exercises and incorporates digital resources while removing some more advanced topics less essential to civil engineering.

• Contains new and extensively updated content to meet current standards
• Incorporates new examples and problems
• Includes a new online problem and solutions manual as well as additional resources for students and instructors
