Editorial Reviews

Review

"An authoritative compilation of experimental data, theoretical models, and computer simulations which will provide the reader with a comprehensive survey of research work on the phenomenon of flow around circular cylinders. Researchers and professionals in the field will find it an invaluable source for ideas and solutions to design and theoretical problems encountered in their work"--Geo Abstracts journals and databases

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

"The book is well organised, clearly presented and contains a wealth of information drawn from more than an estimated 1200 references....This book is a major contribution to fluid dynamics and is thoroughly recommended to anybody interested in the flow around a circular cylinder...This book will become the standard reference for the flow around a circular cylinder"--Journal of Fluids Engineering

"An excellent overview of problems concerning the flow around circular cylinders"--Zentralblatt fur Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete
