ABSTRACT
The problems encountered in Chapter 1 involved only a small number of quantities, basically p, g and y. In consequence, the equations developed were simple and precise.
Thus, if the results of hydrostatic experimentation and calculation are compared, they are found to agree within the limits of experimental accuracy. Unfortunately, this combination of simplicity and accuracy does not apply when we tum our attention to problems involving fluid flows. Engineering flows are mostly very complex, and it is not usually possible to evolve precise theoretical models.
