My last post got deleted so can someone recommend me a fluid mechanics book or website please? I need to understand the theory behind air flow pattern, going through a fan guard being (air flow)being restricted going into a axial fan into an enclosure. This was done on a CFD software

Cheers

If you are using a CFD software without a basic knowledge of the fluid principles behind it, that's a dangerous combination.

For CFD, you can look here:
There aren't too many books that are up to date on modern CFD softwares that I know of. But "Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer" published by Taylor and Francis would be a help for the numerical routines behind CFD work.

For a general fluid mechanics book, try Fox and McDonalds "Introduction to Fluid Mechanics."
