Since 1974, Viscous Fluid Flow has been known for its academic rigor and effectiveness at serving as a convenient “one-stop shop” for those interested in expanding their knowledge of the rich and evolving field of fluid mechanics. The fourth edition contains important updates and over 200 new references while maintaining the tradition of fulfilling the role of a senior or first-year graduate textbook on viscous motion with a well-balanced mix of engineering applications.

Students are expected to understand the basic foundations of fluid mechanics, vector calculus, partial differential equations, and rudimentary numerical analysis. The material can be selectively presented in a one-semester course or, with more extensive coverage, in two (or even three) semesters.
128 new problems have been added to the original set of 255. Many of the new problems are realistic and either self-guided or leading to prescribed answers.
We have added seven more appendices for a total assortment of nine. At the end of the book: (A) vector identities; (B) reduced forms of the incompressible NavierStokes equations; (C) transport properties; (D) Einsteins indicial notation; (E) energy loss evaluation; (F) BraggHawthornes equations in spherical polar coordinates; (G) equations of motion; (H) Buckingham Pi procedure with 88 dimensionless parameters; and (I) useful trigonometric identities.
Chapter 4 has been substantially improved. We have explained the 1921 Pohlhausen paradox and provided new analytical velocity profiles that are considerably more precise, including a closed-form solution to the Blasius equation.
Over 50% of Chapter 5 is new and extends the 1D hydrodynamic stability approach to the biglobal framework so readers can tackle more complex configurations using the fast growing biglobal approach.
Readers are introduced to several supplementary techniques including the BraggHawthorne approach, a simplified momentum-integral formulation, and new Blasius solutions.
This text provides extensive coverage of incompressible viscous flow theory and applications under laminar and transitional conditions so that readers are exposed to a rich variety of theoretical models and corresponding real-world applications involving both viscous and thermal boundary layers.
Well-balanced coverage of turbulent boundary layer equations and compressible mean flow analysis introduces readers to turbulent and compressible flow formulations including a variety of modeling perspectives and applications.
Rigorous detail and discussion of both integral and differential viscous flow formulations is provided in Chapters 2-7.
Readers are provided a repertoire of Navier-Stokes solutions.
This text provides detailed procedures to solve a wide range of viscous and thermal flow problems, so readers are better prepared to tackle real-world problems and to better interpret simulation results.
Readers will find a wealth of material, fluid mechanics videos, supplementary handouts, PowerPoint slides for lectures, sample exams, biographical information on key contributors, password-protected solutions to exercise problems, and the ability to provide feedback in the instructor's manual and the student resource website.
