4.0 out of 5 starsgood book ; bad translation
By me on January 25, 2005
Format: Hardcover
this is a classic book. however, the new 8th edition is not translated very well. i have an older english version (6th edition, 1968) that is translated much better. even where the content is the same between the two editions, the "updated" translation is worse that in the original version.

5.0 out of 5 starsClassic book.
By Dr. Rajani K. Sahoo on October 30, 2006
Format: Hardcover
This is the classic book on the subject to be ever written and retains its class by incorporating some of the recent developments in the boundary layer theory.

A great collection for anyone in the field of turbulence, aerodynamics ...

5.0 out of 5 starsUnsurpassed
By kelly londry on May 18, 2007
Format: Hardcover
Although I have only the first edition, I still find it to be of immense value, and hands-down superior to any other book on the subject (save the newer edition perhaps). It seamlessly weaves together theory, mathematics, and experimental observation, into a very readable and (surprisingly) interesting text. Because it explains the fundamentals so well, Schlichting's book is one of those rare engineering classics that will continue to be of value for a very long time to come.

Amazing text by the original author, revised and updated and delivered in a new, clean package. Great book and THE text for anyone learning about or doing high end research in boundary layers.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent book
By Scott Judson on May 24, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a classic and complete book for someone looking to transform their knowledge in Fluid Mechanics. The first 5 chapters could serve as the textbook for an upper level undergraduate class in Fluid Mechanics. The derivations are insightful and explained very well. Even though the main subject of the book is boundary layers, I found the text to be helpful (even more so than the assigned texts) for general purpose fluid mechanics courses where boundary layers were not the main topic. This book is a great reference and I would suggest it to anyone looking to learn more about fluids.
