White's Fluid Mechanics, sixth edition will continue the text's tradition of excellent problems of different types, precision and accuracy, and good application of concepts to engineering. This is the number one supplement package in Fluids! The new 6th edition will feature the best general problem-solving approach to date, presented at the start of the book and carefully integrated in all examples. Students can progress from general ones to those involving design, multiple steps and computer usage. Word problems are included to build readers’ conceptual understanding of the subject, and FE Exam problems (in multiple-choice format) are included. EES (Engineering Equation Solver) software is included so that students can effectively use the computer to model, solve and modify typical fluid mechanics problems. A DVD containing EES is free with every book, and Appendix E describes its use and application to fluid mechanics. A limited version of EES, that does not expire, is included on the CD ROM. Users of the book can also download and distribute the full Academic Version of EES, which is renewed annually with a new username and password. Also an animation library will be included as well as 150 algorithmic problems, in ARIS, McGraw's-Hill's electronic homework management system.

This updated and revised edition of Dr. Ronald L. Panton's Incompressible Flow provides readers with an exceptionally clear, unified, and carefully paced introduction to advanced concepts in fluid mechanics. Dubbed by one reviewer as "the most teachable book on the market," it begins with basic principles and then patiently develops the math and physics leading to the major theories. Throughout, a unified presentation of physics, mathematics, and engineering applications is achieved, and the text is liberally supplemented with helpful exercises and example problems.Laying the foundation for a thorough understanding of incompressible flow, Dr. Panton devotes the first third of the book to a precise formulation of the physical concepts and mathematical equations governing compressible viscous flows of Newtonian fluids. This part of the book includes chapters on the thermodynamics of simple materials and the mathematics of vector and tensor analysis.
The book's coverage of stream functions and the velocity potential features special approaches in which stream functions can be extended to other coordinate systems. Dr. Panton also emphasizes the physical interpretation of vorticity dynamics by deftly combining vorticity, associated controlling processes, and the laws that govern them.
Subsequent, more detailed coverage of incompressible flow is organized into the various Reynolds number regimes. The discussion of moderate Reynolds number flows introduces a finite difference numerical technique and reviews classic results for flow over a cylinder, including results from large eddy simulations. High Reynolds number flows— that is, inviscid flows and boundary layers— are given a unified treatment over the course of several chapters so as to emphasize their interconnection. The chapter on low Reynolds number flows emphasizes the different singular natures of two- and three-dimensional external flows and reviews a number of recent results concerning internal flows. Dr. Panton concludes by introducing students to the nomenclature and contemporary concepts used in stability, transition, and turbulence— fields in which recent progress has occurred.
Incompressible Flow, Second Edition is the ideal choice for graduate-level fluid mechanics courses offered in mechanical, aerospace, and chemical engineering programs.
Incompressible flows are flows of gases or liquids for which changes in density are not relevant to the physics of their interactions with solid bodies. Occupying as it does a central position in the science of fluid dynamics, the study of incompressible flows is fundamental to a wide array of scientific and engineering disciplines, including hydraulics; hydrodynamics; aerodynamics; hydrology; mechanical, aerospace, and chemical engineering; and many others.
This updated and revised edition of Ronald L. Panton's classic, Incompressible Flow, provides readers with:
- A comprehensive introduction to advanced concepts in fluid mechanics
- A carefully paced presentation that begins with basic principles and then patiently develops the math and physics leading to the major theories
- Balanced, unified treatments of physics, mathematics, and engineering applications throughout
- Complete coverage of elemental flow processes for the different Reynolds number regions, including inviscid flows and boundary layers
- A detailed introduction to stability, transition, and turbulence mechanics
- Many helpful exercises and example problems
Dubbed "the most teachable book on the market," Incompressible Flow, Second Edition is now, more than ever, an indispensable resource for both graduate students and practicing engineers in mechanical, aerospace, chemical, and civil engineering.

Silenced Rivers shows why large dams have become such a controversial technology in both industrialized and developing countries.
The book explains the history and politics of dam building worldwide and shows why large dams have become so controversial. It details the ecological and human impacts of large dams, and shows how the 'national interest' argument is used to legitimize uneconomic and unjust projects which benefit elites while impoverishing tens of millions describes the technical, safety and economic problems of dam technology, the structure of the international dam-building industry, and the role played by international banks and aid agencies tells the story of the rapid growth of the international anti-dam movement, and recounts some of the most important anti-dam campaigns around the world shows how the dam lobby and governments have reacted to criticism by cosmetic 'greening' of the dam-building process, and through state repression outlines the alternatives to dams, and argues that their replacement by less destructive alternatives requires the opening up of the industry's practices to public scrutiny.
