Reviews
'This book covers a huge amount of advanced material, but is extremely well written and presented, making it easy and enjoyable to read, and this is aided by the excellent choice of results and illustrations used to complement the text. It is also so comprehensive it is doubtful there is an upper level of experience, either academic or practitioner, where this book wouldn't present something of interest ... In summary, this book would make very interesting reading for any graduate student, researcher or practitioner in the numerical aerodynamics field. It provides sufficient background and technical detail to be able to develop and understand detailed numerical methods and also covers some more advanced material in a manner that can be followed. It would make a valuable addition to the library of anyone with an interest in this area.' Christian Allen, University of Bristol
'The book by Paul Tucker represents a great compendium of this topic that can be useful for B.Sc. or Ph.D. students or can work as a consultation manual for specialists working on the field. ... I had the opportunity to review the hardcopy edition and I recommend it to any student or as a consultation book for the shelf of any engineer working on the field.' Juan A.
