Stability of Parallel Flows

Robert Betchov and William O. Criminale (Eds.)978-0-12-395771-9

This book was written with the dual purpose of combining a text with a monograph. In this way a source is provided for the uninitiated to the subject along with an up-to-date review of the state of the art for the more knowledgable researcher.
