5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read on the Topic
The writing style of the author is systematic, concise, and right to the point. You may need to derive things on your own following the hints from the book (That's how you learn). All the basics and mathematical results are provided. All in all, a nice volume to study the boundary integral methods for Stokes flows.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very helpful
I wrote my own boundary integral code for my research. Every time I look for something I check Pozrikidis's book and find an explanation so convoluted it would take less time to re-derive the answer myself. I have found a good introduction to the theory in Leal's "Laminar Flow and Convective Transport Processes" and a practical guide to simulations in Youngren and...

This review is from: Boundary Integral and Singularity Methods for Linearized Viscous Flow (Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics) (Paperback)
I wrote my own boundary integral code for my research. Every time I look for something I check Pozrikidis's book and find an explanation so convoluted it would take less time to re-derive the answer myself. I have found a good introduction to the theory in Leal's "Laminar Flow and Convective Transport Processes" and a practical guide to simulations in Youngren and Acrivos's 1975 JFM paper "Stokes flow past a particle of arbitrary shape: a numerical method of solution". For more advanced guides to the theory I refer to Ladyzhenskaya's "The mathematical theory of viscous incompressible flow"

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for my dissertation work, May 28, 2007
Probably could not have finished my PhD without the explanations provided here. Helped me understand the complex mathematics I used to do my research.
