This textbook is undisputedly regarded as the standard work on fluid mechanics. In the current 15th edition, authored by renowned fluid scientists, all chapters have been updated to reflect the latest findings. The flows are examined from a phenomenological standpoint in a holistic manner, and systematic approaches are derived from them. The authors succeed in sharpening the understanding of influences and processes. The Prandtl is particularly well-suited both as a classic textbook and as a reference work.
