About this ebook
The fourth edition of Viscous Fluid Flow by Frank M. White (co-authored with Joseph Majdalani) covers core graduate-level fluid mechanics across seven main chapters. Key topics include foundational conservation laws, exact and approximate solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, laminar and turbulent boundary layers, stability theory, and updated compressible flow relations. [1, 2, 3, 4]
