‘Scaling phenomena in fluid mechanics’

Grigory Isaakovich Barenblatt0521469201, 9780521469203

This book presents the text of the inaugural lecture given by Professor G. I. Barenblatt on appointment to the G. I. Taylor Professorship of Fluid Mechanics. Fittingly, Professor Barenblatt chose to present a study of scaling phenomena in several topics studied by G. I. Taylor throughout his varied career.
