This lecture series was recorded live at Cal Poly Pomona during Spring 2018. The textbook is White "Fluid Mechanics (8th edition)."

Dr. Biddle has taught me more about Fluid Mechanics in 3 days than my actual professor has taught me in a whole semester. Thanks Dr. Biddle!

You can tell he has a lot of teaching experience. He obviously understands places where students often get hung up. A lot of professors will spend time explaining what everyone understands then blow past the mind stretching stuff. They understand all pieces of the theory so well that they don't have any idea what is going to trip somebody up.

I know this is unrelated, but I love his handwriting. Undoubtedly, his teaching is the best!

This professor is absolutely fantastic!! Thank you!! I am currently during very terribly in my Fluids class, and I have just found this wonderful prof. Hopefully, he can save me. I already feel so much more confident about this topic!!

[chizhang]

by far the best handwriting i have seen from an engineering professor

[eduardovicente]

All Fluid Mechanics lectures of this teacher are excellent, but in particular this one of ''Similitude '' !

[JackAdrianZappa]

Great class! Will check out all of the rest of these classes.

Thanks from Taiwan!! This professor has the right Spirit

[roonyyoouness]

Best explication, thank you Prof for this amazing videos👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

At 54:42, how did he simplify the equation to (Lp/Lm)^3 ?

[williamcase]

this guy knows what he's talkin about

[vasiliostsakiris]

Dear professor when i see the flow around a blant "sphere" the only think that comes in my mind is that with the same proces the galaxies are produces in the universe

[akashbabaria]

Can u tell me plz

Example of geometrically similar and kinematically differ prototype and their model
Reynolds no. Same hai

[ChrisMontes]

for 42:24, how does he get Vm=(Vm/Vp)*Vp?

[Kdurantula]

Where did he get the values for viscosites for the prototype and model on the first example of similitude?

[_Fusion__]

I have a doubt in 1st example sir
In equating Reynolds number density of both fluid is assumed to be same but both fluid have different density please clear my doubt.

[wowcoldboy]

44:26 how did you get density of water as 62.4? Thank you

Whoever gave this the ONE dislike... smh
