This textbook covers essentials of traditional and modern fluid 

dynamics, i.e., the fundamentals of and basic applications in fluid 

mechanics and convection heat transfer with brief excursions into 

fluid-particle dynamics and solid mechanics. Specifically, it is 

suggested that the book can be used to enhance the knowledge base 

and skill level of engineering and physics students in macro-scale 

fluid mechanics (see Chaps. 1–5 and 10), followed by an intro-

ductory excursion into micro-scale fluid dynamics (see Chaps. 6 to 

9). These ten chapters are rather self-contained, i.e., most of the 

material of Chaps. 1–10 (or selectively just certain chapters) could be 

taught in one course, based on the students’ background. Typically, 

serious seniors and first-year graduate students form a receptive 

audience (see sample syllabus). Such as target group of students 

would have had prerequisites in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics 

and solid mechanics, where Part A would be a welcomed refresher. 

While introductory fluid mechanics books present the material in 

progressive order, i.e., employing an inductive approach from the 

simple to the more difficult, the present text adopts more of a 

deductive approach. Indeed, understanding the derivation of the basic 

equations and then formulating the system-specific equations with 

suitable boundary conditions are two key steps for proper problem 

solutions.
