From the reviews of the second edition:
"This voluminous bipartite monograph gives a systematic presentation of theory and practice of this important field of fluid dynamics. ... it is very important to have a comprehensive and systematic overview including useful numerical methods. The two volumes have the character of a handbook and accomplish this function excellently. ... These two volumes are very useful for scientists and practicing engineers in the fields of technical thermodynamics, chemical engineering, fluid mechanics, and for mathematicians ... . This bipartite monograph is highly recommended." (Bernd Platzer, Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 86 (12), 2006)
