A Treatise in Fluid Dynamics is atextbook for beginning engineering students who have background ofbasic calculus and physics. This textbook follows a typicalsequence of topics of dynamics of fluids by starting with anintroduction to the subject, concentrating on terminologies, simpleconcepts, and clarifying adoption of the system and control volumeapproach to describe the motion of the fluid. It then follows byunsteady im-pressible incompressible flows, impressible potentialflows, numerical computation of fluid dynamic problems,viscousflows, and open channel flows. A large numbers of examples, such assluice gate, a sharp crested weir, jet-plate interaction, etc. ,are presented throughout the textbook to emphasize the applicationsof fluid dynamics to various practical problems. Some simpleFortran computer programs are provided for calculatingincompressible potential flow past simple geometrical bodies basedupon surface source distributions and other problems. As thistextbook is the extended version of the lecture notes prepared bythe first author throughout his career of teaching and research inthe areas of gas dynamics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics at theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Florida AtlanticUniversity, it can serve as a useful reference book for graduatestudents and researchers in the related technical fields.
