This internationally famous work on the dynamics of liquids and gases enjoys a unique position in technical literature. Most authors refer their readers to it rather than to other works for fundamental theorems, equations, and detailed methods of solution. It has never been superseded as an encyclopedic coverage of all aspects of classical hydrodynamics.
