Unsurpassed

Although I have only the first edition, I still find it to be of immense value, and hands-down superior to any other book on the subject (save the newer edition perhaps). It seamlessly weaves together theory, mathematics, and experimental observation, into a very readable and (surprisingly) interesting text. Because it explains the fundamentals so well, Schlichting's book is one of those rare engineering classics that will continue to be of value for a very long time to come.

Classic book.

This is the classic book on the subject to be ever written and retains its class by incorporating some of the recent developments in the boundary layer theory. A great collection for anyone in the field of turbulence, aerodynamics ...

A Must-have Book for Fluid Mechanics Researchers!

This is the best and the most classical fluid mechanics book that i have read. Read it through carefully and you will get much from it. Reading it from time to time can give you many new knowledge every time.

Applause

An excellent resource. A tough act to follow for any other author of BLT books.

Another ChE classic!

This book is as much as a classic as BSL's "Transport Phenomena" (the bible) - it surely is a "holy" book to me!
