Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The two volumes of Solving Problems in Fluid Mechanics have become well established as the best available problem-based student-centred texts on the subject. They present a clear explanation of theory and application in the form of solutions to typical examination and assignment type questions

Includes index.
