The seventh edition of Fluid Mechanics sees some additions and deletions but no philosophical change. The basic outline of eleven chapters, plus appendices, remains
the same. The triad of integral, differential, and experimental approaches is retained.
Many problem exercises, and some fully worked examples, have been changed. The
informal, student-oriented style is retained. A number of new photographs and figures
have been added. Many new references have been added, for a total of 435. The writer
is a firm believer in "further reading," especially in the postgraduate years.
