Incompressible Flow

by Ronald L. Panton

Book Overview

This updated and revised edition of Dr. Ronald L. Panton's Incompressible Flow provides readers with an exceptionally clear, unified, and carefully paced introduction to advanced concepts in fluid mechanics. Dubbed by one reviewer as "the most teachable book on the market," it begins with basic principles and then patiently develops the math and physics leading to the major theories. Throughout, a unified presentation of physics, mathematics, and...

Customer Reviews

one of my favourite fluid mechanics book

This book is an excellent text book on an advanced topic. But it does have some issues like any text book I saw. 1) quite a lot of editting errors; 2) Lack of detailed examples; 3) Some derivations are not complete; 4) Index notation not explained very well. However, it is still the best in its class IMO. Some other good books are by Currie and White. Currie's book is probably the easiest to understand. But neither covers as many important topics as this one. These three books together plus the one by Aris are a good combo to study this topic.

very good service but ...

The book store service is quick and good, but there are still errors in the book even through this is the third edition.

Excellent Supplement

We used this text in my first graduate course in fluid dynamics. The text was an excellent supplement to the lecture series it accompanied. The derivations were clear, useful, and covered a large range of material. It should serve as an excellent reference for future coursework as well.

Very comprehensive textbook. A good book for reference too.

One of the bests books for graduates who are studying or researching fluid dynamics. Except for its price, it can't be better.
