Reviews

In the book, real engineering applications and natural examples are provided and design-oriented correlations of bulk parameters are frequently given throughout the book...I recommend this book for those graduate students who want a thorough theoretical and modelling foundation in the topic of rotating flow. --Contemporary Physics, December 19, 2012
