Description
Book SynopsisFluid mechanics is one of the greatest accomplishments of classical physics. This title includes a collection of essays that impart the essential theoretical framework of laminar flows to the reader.
Trade Review"Laminar Flow Theory is a milestone in the fluid mechanics literature because it introduces a new viewpoint into theoretical fluid mechanics... this small book should be in the library of every serious scholar of fluid mechanics."--AIAA Journal
