Basics of Fluid Mechanics

Downloads ver. 0.3.1.1 Dec 23, 2011

What is different between Potto project books and other books: Potto project's books are simply designed to be best. These books contain innovative ideas which make some chapters the best in the world. To be specific, consider that all the books on fluid mechanics provides definition of the bulk modulus. However, only Potto Project book has explanation how to used it in hydrostatic cases. Another examples, the chapters on Fanno flow and Oblique shock contain many original idea such as the full analytical solution to the oblique shock, many algorithms for calculating Fanno flow parameters which are not found in any other book.
