This text is designed to give a comprehensive and coherent description of classical fluid dynamics which is suitable for an introductory undergraduate lecture course, and then progressing through more advanced material up to the level of modern research in the field. Topics includeed in this text are: A discussion of Continuum Hypothesis, which is followed by an introduction to macroscopic functions, the velocity vector, pressure, density, and enthalpy ; Properties of a number of flows that are presented by the so-called exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, including the Couette flow between two parallel plates, Hagen-Poiseuille flow through a pipe, and Karman flow above an infinite rotating disk ; Inviscid incompressible flow theory, with particular focus on two-dimensional potential flows ; Compressible flows of perfect gas, including supersonic flows.
