Hi.

I am on the look of a really good textbook on introduction to fluid dynamics. And as I want to do it as selfstudy, I need a book that has lots of solved problems to help me understand the subjects. I have looked in Schaums solved fluid problems, but it is not that level I want. It should be a dedicated book on fluid dynanics.

Any suggestions?

Numerical Computation of Internal and External Flows Volumes I and II.

Author: C. Hirsch

ISBN: 0-471-92385-0 (volume 1)

0-471-92452-0 (volume 2)

These are excellent books, and have good problems.
