FLUID MOTION MEMOIRS
In 1938 the Press published Modern Developments in Fluid Dynamics edited by Professor S. Goldstein under the auspices of the Aeronautical Research Committee (now Council). This has come to be recognized as a classic and to set the pattern for later works in this field. The eiFects of the compressil)ility of fluids were treated in Modern Developments in Fluid Dynamics: High Speed Flow edited by Professor L. Howarth and published in 1953. The Fluid Motion Panel of the Aeronautical Research Council has now sponsored a series of Fluid Motion Memoirs to present a modern account of aerodynamic plienomcna and lluid motion studies.
All initial group of llirec volumes has so lar been considered for this series: the present volume; Laminar Boundary Layers edited by Professor L. Uoscnliead; and a third volume on Turbulence.

Great advances in our knowledge of fluid flows have been made since Modern Developments in Fluid Dynamics, edited by Sydney Goldstein, appeared in 1938. In 1953 the companion High-Speed Flow, edited by Leslie Howarth, came out ; this studied the flow of compressible fluid, which had not come within the scope of the earlier work.
Incompressible Aerodynamics—the first of a new series, the Fluid Motion Memoirs, sponsored by the Aeronautical Research Council—is a comprehensive review of certain flows of incompressible fluid, which are of special importance to aeronautics. The central theme of the book is the up-to-date theoretical and experimental treatment of the uniform flow of air and other viscous fluids past two-dimensional aerofoils and three-dimensional wings; round this are grouped various related topics such as flows past joined bodies, shear flows, rotary flows, and boundary-layer control.
The book will be a standard reference work for all those—students, research workers, university teachers, and engineers —who are engaged in the field of aeronautics. But many of the theories described are being ever-increasingly applied to other fields of knowledge and technology, such as gas turbines, pumps and compressors, ventilating systems, ships' stabilizers, river erosion and so on. To those working in these fields, the book will be a valuable source of information.
Two essential books in fluid motion engineering giving working data and an epitome of the theory from which they were derived.
