From the Back Cover
Always accurate and accessible

Known for its exceptionally readable approach, Crowe, Elger, and Robertson's ENGINEERING FLUID MECHANICS carefully guides readers from fundamental fluid mechanics concepts to real-world engineering applications.

The Seventh Edition of this student-friendly text fosters a strong conceptual understanding of fluid flow phenomena through lucid physical descriptions, photographs, clear illustrations, and fully worked example problems. More than 1,100 problems, including open-ended design problems and computer-oriented problems, provide an opportunity to apply fluid mechanics principles. Throughout, the authors have meticulously reviewed all problems, solutions, and text material to ensure accuracy.

Enhancements and revisions to the Seventh Edition

• Expanded material on the analysis of hydrostatic forces on curved surfaces.

  Very basic and dumbed down

  I had the good fortune of taking my undergrad Fluids course with Dr. Crowe. His command over fluid dynamics is marvellous. He is a master at his art and conveys the information precisely and eloquently. However he dumbs down his course much like this book. Yes there are a quite a few difficult problems in the textbook.
  
  However the major drawbacks of the text are
  1. NO development of the differential forms of the govering principles. Conservation of mass, momentum and energy are all developed in the simpler integral form.
  
  2. Lack of substantial mathematical sophistication. Fluid mechanics is best described with vector calculus. Surely there are many problems which can be tacked with simple algebraic formulations but Crowe essentially avoids the mathematical rigor and does not delve into any hardcore math. All in all this is an nuts-and-bolts engineering fluid mechanics book (lots of refering to tables and charts and use of empirical eqns) and not a a scientists version of fluid mechanics, ie with greater emphasis on the math.
  
  Would highly recommend a slightly more advanced introductory textbook for a first course in Fluids. Maybe Munson, Young Okiishi or the Fox Mcdonald book should fill in the gaps left by Crowe's book.

  Okay reference book

  This text was used in a class where I was the teaching assistant. There were numerous complaints from students about how the text was difficult to follow, and in some cases the examples were even incomplete. This was a class for junior engineering students as a first thorough course in fluids, the text was not helpful. As a graduate student I found it to be a good reference of basic concepts (although, it was hard for me to follow some of the examples). It even goes in depth with many concepts. All in all it is a good basic reference, but totally inadequate for beginning instruction.
  
  As a note to instructors, the solution manual is loaded with errors.

  Undergrad Masterpiece

  This text is a great introduction to Fluid Mechanics. The derivations are very easy to follow, and the problems apply to many real life situations. For graduate students, it may be a little to light weight, but for undergrads it provides a broad base of information.
