Product Description
Incompressible Flow, Third Edition is the updated and revised edition of Ronald Panton’s classic text on fluid mechanics. Beginning with basic principles, this Third Edition patiently develops the math and physics leading to major theories. The book provides a unified presentation of physics, mathematics, and engineering applications, along with a liberal supplement of helpful exercises and example problems. New features include chapters on the modern measurements of the pipe flow friction factor, expanded details on the mathematics of E2E2Y operator, the Jeffrey-Hamel solution and its limits with Reynolds number, and more. Complete with new problems, solvable with such PC-based calculation software as MathCAD and MATLAB, Incompressible Flow, Third Edition is a valuable resource for professionals in the mechanical, aerospace, civil, and chemical engineering fields.

 Decent Flow Reference, 2008-09-26
This book does a nice job of presenting the basic ideas of incompressible flow, but does not have any examples for the problems. It has a very weak treatment of simple flows, but does a sufficiently good job of mathematically supporting each concept. Not the best book, but good enough for undergraduate/introductory courses.

 one of my favourite fluid mechanics book, 2007-01-10
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 ..., 2006-11-10
The book store service is quick and good, but there are still errors in the book even through this is the third edition.

Physicist's Review, 2006-11-06
Overall, not a bad text. Definitely written for engineers, though. Many of the equations are rewritten in different coordinate systems which I found unecessary. In addition, some results are just introduced as fact with much of the mathematical rigor used to derive them left out. The physical arguments and treatment of Exact Solutions to Navier-Stokes are excellent.

Well explained, thorough reference, 2005-10-05
The text makes a clear presentation of the material, both in terms of giving background on index notation, and on deriving the equations of fluid motion. Well written and very clear.
One main complaint is the lack of examples that are worked out for the reader. Especially for subject matter that rewards familiarity and repetition, this would be a helpful inclusion
