Book Reviews of Viscous Fluid Flow (Mcgraw Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering)

Book Review: Great Introduction for graduate fluid flow
Summary: 5 Stars

Review Source: Graduate Mechanical Engineer, BE Mech. Eng.
Frank White did an excellent job with this book for my level of knowledge anyway. It provided exactly what I wanted:
1. Preliminary concepts section that overviews gives a fairly advanced thermodynamic look at fluid properties and models and boundary conditions. great at stating assumptions of models.
2. Derivation of navier stokes and energy equation along with introduction to non-dimensionalization and explains all the dimensionless numbers involved with viscous flow and heat transfer.
3. Very "follow-able" derivations of many solutions to navier-stokes equations, ie Couette, duct, suction, porous media flows, low Reynolds creep.
4. 100 page of approximate laminar boundary layer model derivations, mostly 2D with introduction to 3D BL's. Still need Schlichting's "Boundary Layer Theory". Would have liked to have more on seperation.
5. The rest of the text goes into the stability of boundary layers, incompressible and compressible turbulent flow, and compressible turbulent boundary layers. I have not gotten this far in the text yet but I'm sure it's well written and technically sound after the reading the first half.

Very well written book for people interested in learning yet expands to fairly technical areas.

Summary of Viscous Fluid Flow (Mcgraw Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering)

Frank White's Viscous Fluid Flow, Third Edition continues to be the market leader in this course area. The text is for a senior graduate level elective in Mechanical Engineering, and has a strong professional and international appeal.

Author Frank White is has a strong reputation in the field, his book is accurate, conceptually strong, and contains excellent problem sets. Many of the problems are new to this third edition; a rarity among senior and graduate level textbooks. The references found in the text have been updated and reflect the most current information available. Users will also be interested to find explanations of, and references to ongoing controversies and trends in this course area.

Topically speaking, the text contains modern information on technological advances, such as Micro- and Nano-technology, Turbulence Modeling, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Unsteady Boundary Layers.
