Viscous Fluid Flow

Viscous Fluid Flow, 4th Edition, provides an advanced presentation of viscous fluid mechanics paired with engineering applications. First published in 1974, this textbook delivers rigorous instruction in fluid motion for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students.

The volume covers preliminary principles, fundamental equations of compressible viscous flow, and solutions to Newtonian viscous-flow equations. It also addresses laminar boundary layers, the stability of laminar flows, incompressible turbulent mean flow, and compressible-boundary-layer flow.

Designed for flexible curricular adoption, the text supports instructional schedules ranging from a selective single-semester offering to an extensive two- or three-semester course sequence.
