5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent overview of fluid flow July 11 2002
By Fred Camfield
Having once failed a student on a doctoral oral exam because he could not define flow around a basic structural shape, I required students in a hydrodynamics course to obtain this book after it became available. Sometimes called "the picture book," it is an excellent reference illustrating all types of flow including creeping flow, laminar flow, separation, vortices, instability, turbulence, free-surface flow, natural convection, subsonic flow, shock waves, and supersonic flow. The author has researched the subject of flow visualization, and has acquired illustrations from a wide variety of sources. I was pleased to see that the book is still in print as it is a very valuable reference. The author has maintained a relatively low price to make it affordable to students.

4.0 out of 5 stars stimulating and visually-illuminating coffee table book Nov 2 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This is a visually-intensive coffee table book, but its not only that. The fluid motion pictures have been carefully arranged into sections depicting particular fluid flow and therefore provides a useful scientific reference source. This is a complement to the many theoretical treatises that exist describing fluid mechanics. A great book to dip into and provides a very nice visual source for fluid flow phenomena. Only minor drawback--it could do with a a revised edition featuring more numerical simulation results. Otherwise highly recommended and a trasure to keep on your bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book Feb 8 2005
By Mary K. Quaife - Published on Amazon.com
I have reccommended this book to many animators who create visual effects,

and all the artists go nuts when they look at the images that fill every page of this beautiful book. This

book is one of my inspirations and treasures,

and I dread the day it goes out of print. It sits on my bookshelf next to "Abstraction in Art and Nature" by Nathan Cabot Hale.

I bring this book to the design classes to open the minds of the artists to the wonder inside these pages. Yes, I love this book.
