Preface
Ludwig Prandtl, with his fundamental contributions to hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and gas dynamics, greatly influenced the development of fluid mechanics as a whole, and it was his pioneering research in the first half of the last century that founded modern fluid mechanics. His book F¨ uhrer durch die Str¨ omungslehre, which appeared in 1942, originated from previous publications in 1913, Lehre von der Fl¨ ussigkeit und Gasbewegung, and 1931, Abriß der Str¨ omungslehre. The title F¨ uhrer durch die Str¨ omungslehre, or Essentials of Fluid Mechanics, is an indication of Prandtl’s intentions to guide the reader on a carefully thought-out path through the different areas of fluid mechanics. On his way, th
