This book is aimed at postgraduate students and other research scientists and it forms a useful source of background information for such workers... the author has covered the topic comprehensively. The book reads well as is well produced. IMechE - Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science I can recommend the book as an excellent graduate text. Journal of Fluid Mechanics
