ISE Fluid Mechanics Handbook

Build a complete working foundation in fluid mechanics-from the pressure in a stationary liquid to turbulent flow, compressible gas dynamics, and the machines that move fluids.

• Analyze density, viscosity, pressure, buoyancy, hydrostatic forces, and floating-body stability
• Apply conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and angular momentum to engineering flow problems
• Use Bernoulli's equation correctly and account for pumps, turbines, and head losses
• Master dimensional analysis, Buckingham Pi, similitude, Reynolds number, Froude number, and Mach number
• Understand the Navier-Stokes equations, exact viscous-flow solutions, and boundary conditions
• Analyze laminar and turbulent boundary layers, transition, Reynolds stresses, and turbulence
• Calculate pipe friction, minor losses, flow measurement, and multi-pipe networks
• Understand drag, lift, flow separation, airfoil behavior, and vortex shedding
• Work with open-channel flow, hydraulic jumps, compressible flow, choking, nozzles, and shock waves
• Explore centrifugal pumps, fans, compressors, and hydraulic turbines
