A General Theory of Fluid Mechanics [electronic resource] / by Peiqing Liu. - 1st ed. 2021. - XIV, 649 p. 706 illus., 550 illus. in color. online resource.

Foundation of Fluid Mechanics -- Aerodynamics -- Hydrodynamics -- Computational Fluid Dynamics -- Experimental Fluid Mechanics -- Wind tunnel and water tunnel equipment -- Flight Mystery and Aerodynamic Principles -- Introduction to Celebrities in Fluid Mechanics.

This book provides a general introduction to fluid mechanics in the form of biographies and popular science. Based on the author’s extensive teaching experience, it combines natural science and human history, knowledge inheritance and cognition law to replace abstract concepts of fluid mechanics with intuitive and understandable physical concepts. In seven chapters, it describes the development of fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, experimental fluid dynamics, wind tunnel and water tunnel equipment, the mystery of flight and aerodynamic principles, and leading figures in fluid mechanics in order to spark beginners’ interest and allow them to gain a comprehensive understanding of the field’s development. It also provides a list of references for further study.
