Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is unique. It is the most comprehensive treatment of the basic theory of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids that I know of.
It contains a lot of interesting material that is not treated in elementary texts and is dispersed in the research literature, and the authors present it in a rigorous but engaging manner. What I value most of the book are the insightful comments and discussions throughout; it gives one a proper perspective and a deepened understanding of the subject. The book is not suitable for a first course in fluid mechanics, but it should be an excellent text for beginning graduate students -- both engineering students who want to learn the mathematics and mathematics students who want to understand the physics.

A compact, moderately general book which encompasses many fluid models of current interest'The book is written very clearly and contains a large number of exercises and their solutions. The level of mathematics is that commonly taught to undergraduates in mathematics departments.. -Mathematical ReviewsThe book should be useful for graduates and researchers not only in applied mathematics and mechanical engineering but also in advanced materials science and technology'Each public scientific library as well as hydrodynamics hand libraries should own this timeless book'Everyone who decides to buy this book can be sure to have bought a classic of science and the heritage of an outstanding scientist. -SilikátyAll applied mathematicians, mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, and engineering mechanics graduates and researchers will find the book an essential reading resource for fluids.-Simulation News Europe
