《流体动力学专论》一开始就假设读者除了基本物理和矢量分析概念外没有任何流体力学的知识。鉴于计算机的迅速发展和广泛应用，作者的目的是在强调基本概念的前提下介绍对简单流体问题的各种计算方法。本书由周文隆，熊焰著。

A Treatise in Fluid Dynamics is a textbook for beginning engineering students who have background of basic calculus and physics. This textbook follows a typical sequence of topics of dynamics of fluids by starting with an introduction to the subject, concentrating on terminologies, simple concepts, and clarifying adoption of the system and control volume approach to describe the motion of the fluid. It then follows by unsteady im-pressible incompressible flows, impressible potential flows, numerical computation of fluid dynamic problems,viscous flows, and open channel flows. A large numbers of examples, such as sluice gate, a sharp crested weir, jet-plate interaction, etc. , are presented throughout the textbook to emphasize the applications of fluid dynamics to various practical problems. Some simple Fortran computer programs are provided for calculating incompressible potential flow past simple geometrical bodies based upon surface source distributions and other problems. As this textbook is the extended version of the lecture notes prepared by the first author throughout his career of teaching and research in the areas of gas dynamics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Florida Atlantic University, it can serve as a useful reference book for graduate students and researchers in the related technical fields.
