Books by Joseph (San Diego State University) Katz

Designed as a first course on this subject, this book introduces the principles of fluid mechanics, and at the same time it provides sufficient analytical background for more specific courses in this field. The reader will understand the basic principles and have the ability to use these skills for engineering design.

This 2001 book offers a treatment of low-speed aerodynamics. It presents both the theory of inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational aerodynamics, and the computational techniques now available to solve complex problems. This second edition includes a new chapter on the laminar boundary layer, the latest versions of computational techniques, and additional coverage of interaction problems.
