This edition retains the basic approach and style that has appealed to readers for over fifty years. The first
half focuses on fundamental physical and analytical principles. The second half covers applications of those principles
to flow in pipes and open channels, lift and drag, fluid machinery, and compressible flow. The final chapter is
an introduction to an array of fluid measurements and the instruments for making them.
