A First Course in Fluid Mechanics is primarily devoted to the application of the laws of Newtonian mechanics to solve complex problems in fluid motion. Few of the topics discussed include fluid properties and their role in fluid motion; fluid statics; fluid kinematics; Euler’s equations and Bernoulli’s energy equation; forms of irrotational flows; property of viscosity and the Navier–Stokes equations of motion; turbulence. A chapter on dimensional analysis and model similitude is included to emphasise the need for guided experimentation, presentation of results in generalised forms and interpretation of results obtained on the model to the prototype.

S. Narasimhan obtained his B.E. degree in civil engineering from the then University of Mysore in 1951. He obtained his Ph.D. in fluid mechanics from the University of Iowa in 1965. He joined the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in 1958 at its very inception and was involved in teaching and research. He has edited and co-authored three books, several monographs and about 70 technical papers. He has guided several M. Tech theses and doctoral dissertations. He has taught extensively in the areas of fluid mechanics, hydraulic engineering, water resources, port planning, coastal and offshore engineering and related fields. He was conferred the Life Time Achievement Award from the Indian Society of Hydraulics in 2005. He is a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering and Professor Emeritus of IIT Bombay.
