Currently Available Dover Press Books on Fluid Mechanics and Related Topics

APPLIED HYDRO-AND AEROMECHANICS
Ludwig Prandtl and O.G. Tietjens
0-486-60375-X, 311 pp., $10.95
Notes: One of the finest introductory works in the field. Topics include flow through pipes, Prandtl's own work on boundary layers, drag, airfoil theory, and entry conditions for flow in a pipe.

A classic by a preeminent aerodynamic theorist of the 1930's and 40's. Prandtl pioneered the boundary layer concept. Lots of theory but many fascinating photographs. This is the companion book To the "Fundamentals" book below.

LAMINAR BOUNDARY LAYERS
Rosenbead, L.(ed.)
0-486-65646-2, softcover, 610 pp., $18.95
Notes: A classic account of the development, structure and stability of laminar boundary layers in incompressible fluids, and a description of the associated experimental techniques, this book, directed to graduate students and professionals, is valuable not only to applied mathematicians and engineers, but also experimental physicists and chemists. Profusely illustrated.

FUNDAMENTALS OF HYDRO-AND AEROMECHANICS
Ludwig Prandtl and O.G. Tietjens
0-486-60374-1, 270 pp., $7.95
Notes: This volume presents Tietjens' famous expansion of Prandtl's lectures: statics and kinematics of liquids and gases, dynamics of non-viscous liquids. Proofs use vector analysis

HYDRODYNAMICS
Horace Lamb
0-486-60256-7, 738 pp., $16.95
Notes: This classic presentation has never been superseded in its encyclopedic coverage of the subject, and its excellent exposition of fundamental theorems, equations and detailed methods of solution.
