The classic textbook on fluid mechanics is revised and updated by Dr. David Dowling to better illustrate this important subject for modern students. With topics and concepts presented in a clear and accessible way, Fluid Mechanics guides students from the fundamentals to the analysis and application of fluid mechanics, including compressible flow and such diverse applications as aerodynamics and geophysical fluid mechanics. Its broad and deep coverage is ideal for both a first or second course in fluid dynamics at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level, and is well-suited to the needs of modern scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and others seeking fluid mechanics knowledge.

I found this book very useful for my graduate fluid mechanics class. Explanation and sample problems will help you for better understanding.
For undergraduate class, i think it wont be a good choice though.

Good book, but lack in details and physics
It is a fairly good book in Fluid Mechanics and have some great physical insights there. But compared to the incompressible fluid mechanics written by Panton, this book still lacks physics and discussions are not enough. If you can only afford one book, Panton's book is better choice.

Necessary for fluid mechanics
This book is a classic in fluid mechanics. All the basic equations and concepts are really good explained on it. It opens the doos of knowledge for those of you that want to keep going with titles such as Hydrodynamics of Lamb. It is a important book that gives you the basics and a bit more and helps you whenever you want to review any concept.
