[edit] General

What level of complexity should this book be?

- I think it should start where a introductory fluid mechanic course does.

- Chapter 1:

      -key concepts
      -Density, Viscosity, ect

- Chapter 2:

      -Statics
        -Hydrostatics, ect

- Chapter 3: Fluid Dynamics

      -Bernouli, ect

Just to start off...

Is it possible to split it into two books, one simple and one advanced?

[edit] Chapter 1: Continuum Mechanics

[edit] Chapter 2: Vector Calculus

In this section we have some equation such as: InsertformulahereA+B=c

[edit] Headline text

This formula says that the addsition of vector A & B is vector C.

[edit] Chapter 3: Fluid Kinematics

[edit] Chapter 4: Conservation Equations

[edit] 4.1: Conservation of Mass

Should the derrivation of these laws be done in both Lagrangian and Eulerian reference frames? ??That comes from Mr.Reynolds theory of transport... which unites Lagran. and Eules stuff into one pakaged deal no ??? -Mechstudent Either way, it yeilds:

\frac{\partial\rho}{\partial t} + \nabla\cdot \left( \rho \mathbf{V} \right) = 0 

In words we may suggest to use:

Rate of mass accumulation = Rate of mass in - Rate of mass out

[edit] 4.2: Conservation of Momentum

[edit] 4.3 Copnservation of Energy

[edit] Chapter 5: Potential flow

[edit] Chapter 6: Creeping flow

[edit] Chapter 7: Exact Solutions to Navier Stokes Equations

[edit] Chapter 8: Incompresible Flow

[edit] Chapter 9: Compressible Flow

[edit] new idea

There is an open content fluid mechanics textbook by Dr. Bar-Meir at www.potto.org. It seem that someone should take that book and insert it to here.
