This book presents a comprehensive treatment of laminar viscous flow. It thuslimits itself to the study flows at small or moderate Reynolds numbers wherethe laminar flow is stable but it also provides a basis for studies of allsubsequent extensions including stability and turbulence. Covering not onlythe classical topics the NavierStokes equation exact solutions and thelike but also topics of great practical importance lubrication nonNewtonian properties heat and mass transfer and so forth often left out ofstandard texts on fluid dynamics the book will be of use to a broad range ofengineers physicists and others interested in the flow of viscous fluids. «
