Description
Book SynopsisIntended for undergraduate and graduate students of science and engineering, this book covers the area of fluid mechanics, starting from the fundamentals, and then moving to widespread applications, to technology and geophysics. It also contains discussions on the universal dimensions similarity scaling for the laminar boundary layer equations.
Trade Review"This book will find its place on the shelves of all libraries covering the mechanics of liquids and gases" --Mathematics Abstracts "A classic in the field of fluid mechanics" --IOP Publishing Ltd "This book will continue to be a rich source of understanding of fluid mechanics for adequately prepared readers...there is no better aid than Landau and Liftshitz's 'Fluid Mechanics" --Journal of Fluid Mechanics "Has lasting value as a reference text" --The International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow
