Textbooks:
Required: Gerhart et al, Munson’sFundamentals of Fluid Mechanics. Wiley, 8th edition. (Requested for reserve in library) Previous editions arefine, but the problems are a little different with different numbering. Note that I will often refer to this book as “Munson”, because he was the original lead author.
