Boundary-Layer Theory [electronic resource] /
Schlichting (Deceased), Hermann.author.
Gersten, Klaus.author.
This new edition of the near-legendary textbook by Schlichting and revised by Gersten presents a comprehensive overview of boundary-layer theory and its application to all areas of fluid mechanics, with particular emphasis on the flow past bodies (e.g. aircraft aerodynamics). The new edition features an updated reference list and over 100 additional changes throughout the book, reflecting the latest advances on the subject.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
