Incompressible Flow by Ronald L Panton

The second edition is needed to update research, examples, and applications to industry. The presentation starts with basic principles followed with a patient development of the mathematics and physics leading to theories of fluids supported with examples and problem exercise.
RONALD L. PANTON, PhD, is J. H. Herring Centennial Professor of Mechanical Engineering, University of Texas at Austin. He is a member of the ASME Fluid Mechanics Committee and served a term on the AIAA Fluid Dynamics Technical Committees. He is a former associate editor of the Journal of Fluids Engineering. Dr. Panton received his doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley. He also holds degrees in mechanical engineering, engineering, and mathematics from the University of Wisconsin and Wichita State University. Early in his career, he worked for five years in the aircraft industry and with the U.S. Air Force. He was involved in the prediction of engine performance and analysis of flight test results on a Mach 2 fighter aircraft and worked on the X-15 Research Rocket Plane project. The principal investigator on over thirty research grants, Ronald L. Panton has focused his research activities primarily on fluid flows and acoustics. He has conducted experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies on a wide variety of projects. His research in turbulent wall layers has centered on correlation laws for mean and fluctuating quantities, in particular, the wall pressure statistics. Other work deals with interaction of turbulence, orifices, and acoustic resonators.
