DESCRIPTION:
"Unique Classic" according to M. Ward. This book was written in a time when ideas established by men such as Kelvin and Rayleigh were still exciting and new, and it evolved over the decades to remain a classic reference. You'll find many interesting discussions of fundamental ideas in fluid dynamics that most modern books take for granted, as well as novel approaches . Fred Camfield said An essential reference. The first edition of this book was published in 1879 when Sir Horace Lamb was a much younger person (he was serving as an officer in international associations in the 19"An essential reference" according to Fred Camfield.

It remains a standard classic text in hydrodynamics, covering the fundamentals of the subject. The basic science has not changed, but solutions to problems. Essential Post-Graduate Fluid Dynamics The first edition of this book was issued, I believe, about a hundred years ago! Nowadays it is not the techniques of fluid dynamics that have changed but the computing power and methodology to solve these inherently complex problems. That said, this book is "The Classic" text on, what are termed, 'Potential Flow' problems. As su

From the Back Cover This reissue of the 1932 edition of Hydrodynamics is a tribute to the lasting value of Sir Horace Lambs's work. Constantly in use since its first publication in 1879, this book is the definitive reference work for all fluid dynamicists. . The new foreword by Professor Russel Caflisch highlights the prominence of this treatise in the field, and outlines its position in the historical development of fluid mechanics
