Fluid Mechanics, 7th Edition
Fluid Mechanics, 7th Edition
In September 2020, Professor Capecelatro began revising the classic textbook from Pijush Kundu, Fluid Mechanics, in collaboration with Professor David Dowling. The 7th edition was published in November 2024 and features 144 examples and 568 exercises, offering an extensive exploration of fluid mechanics. Topics range from turbulence and gravity waves to compressible flow, with applications spanning aerodynamics and geophysical fluid dynamics. Comments, suggestions, corrections, and other constructive criticism about this textbook are welcome; please send them to jcaps@umich.edu.
