Chapter One. Introduction / Properties of Fluids -- Chapter Two. Principles of Fluid Statics -- Chapter Three. Applications: Fluid Statics Principles -- Chapter Four. Principles of Buoyancy/Stability of Floating Bodies -- Chapter Five. Relative Equilibrium of Accelerated Liquids -- Chapter Six. Principles of Fluid Dynamics -- Chapter Seven. Flow Measurement/Orifices and Weirs -- Chapter Eight. Confined Flow/Pipe Problems -- Chapter Nine. Steady Flow in Open Channels -- Chapter Ten. Dimensional Analysis / Similitude -- Appendices.

Simplified Fluid Mechanics aims to present the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and their applications in a manner that is simple, less rigorous and particularly suited to meet the needs and knowledge of the student taking up the subject. The coverage of the subject matter is mostly devoted to hydraulics or water-related problems. Inclusion of, and brief discussion on, other liquids and on compressible fluids (gases) are only appropriate and practicable.
