Reviews

The pluses for this book are the precise mathematics, the broad coverage, the increased emphasis on practicality, and the lucid, personable writing style The author is a distinguished teacher and scholar of fluid mechanics, particularly compressible flowsThis reviewer recommends the present book Analytical Fluid Dynamics for a serious reference book on continuum, compressible, laminar flows -Applied Mechanics Review, vol. 54, no. 4, July 2001 This book provides a unique source of topics for specialized graduate courses and an indispensable collection of background material for practitioners of modern fluid dynamics. - AIAA Journal, August 2002 About the First Edition: a rather distinctive work that deserves to take its place in the archival fluid-dynamics literature. It is evident that the author is well-informed on the latest developments and has a clear view of the relative significance of different aspects of the subject. - Physics Today, November 1994 ... the author has chosen to emphasize selected topics in depth rather than attempt a less detailed coverage of the entire field. The result is a thorough exposition of many important achievements in analytical fluid mechanics in the recent decades, including the author's own contributions, with valuable references and comments on the underlying historical evolution of the discipline. - AIAA Journal, April, 1996
