Synopsis

The book is a unique compilation of experimental data, theoretical models, and computer simulations of flow past circular cylinders. The circular cylinder is the most widely used shape in engineering making appearances in aeronautical, chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, nuclear, off-shore, and wind engineering. The book will be useful to postgraduates and practising engineers in those fields of study and application.

About this title

Review

`... original photographs of flow visualization are well reproduced. There are also interesting, informative, and appealing historical footnotes. In general the text is easy to read. This book will form essential introductory reading for those entering the field.'Journal of Fluid Mechanics
