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 Reviews The 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. Silikáty All applied mathematicians, mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, and engineering mechanics graduates and researchers will find the book an essential reading resource for fluids.
