First Sentence
THE following investigations proceed on the assumption that the matter with which we deal may be treated as practically continuous and homogeneous in structure; i.e. we assume that the properties of the smallest portions into which we can conceive it to be divided are the same as those of the substance in bulk.

Essential Post-Graduate Fluid Dynamics, July 31 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hydrodynamics (Paperback)
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 such it is essential reading for anyone serious about the subject of Fluid Dynamics. After one has learned the fundamental techniches, covered in this book, the solving of these simplified fluid flow problems are simply delightful. The book provides a very good insight into the working of both analytical and computational fluid dynamics.

An essential reference, Jun 24 2002
By Fred Camfield - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hydrodynamics (Paperback)
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 1920's). It remains a standard classic text in hydrodynamics, covering the fundamentals of the subject. The basic science has not changed, but solutions to problems have become much more advanced as some processes are better understood, and as computational methods become more advanced. The text covers the basic equations of motion, irrotational motion, fluid motion in two dimensions and problems in three dimensions, the motion of solids through a liquid, vortex motion, tidal waves, surface waves, waves of expansion, viscosity, and rotating fluids. It is recommended as a standard reference for hydrodynamics and physical oceanography.

Classic fluid mechanics text, Aug 17 2005
By John Pedersen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hydrodynamics (Paperback)
As noted by other reviewers, this is a classic fluid mechanics reference text, but not suitable for detailed explanations or beginners. It also suffers from the usual fluid mechanics problem of notation, and the notation in this book is a little dated. However, once you get used to the "short article" layout (vs chapters) and the notation, you will treasure and use this book a long time.
