A tribute to Springer's fluid mechanics books

We're on a roll!  Let's now consider the fluid mechanics books published by Springer-Verlag.  They are a prolific publisher with footprints in nearly every subfield of fluid mechanics.  Let's start with some classics.  Today Springer publishes the current editions of some iconic books that originated with other publishers.  Ludwig Prandtl's Essentials of Fluid Dynamics was first published in English in 1952 by Blackie & Sons in the UK and Hafner in the U.S.; its original German publisher in 1931 was Vieweg, I believe.  The current (3d) English translation of the 12th German edition is published by Springer in its Applied Mathematical Sciences series (vol. 158).  Incidentally, vol. 5 of the same series is another classic, Fluid Dynamics by Richard von Mises and Kurt O. Friederichs (1971).  Finally, Boundary-Layer Theory, edited by Hermann Schlichting, was first published in 1954 in German by G. Braun; its English translation was previously published in the McGraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering.  However the current (9th) edition (co-edited by K. Gersten) is published by Springer.

Of course, the monumental Handbuch der Physik, edited by S. Flugge, was also published by Springer.  Volume VIII was on fluid mechanics, while Vol. III covered classical and nonlinear continuum mechanics.

Here are a few other Springer fluids books in my personal collection.

A sample of Springer-Verlag fluid mechanics books in my personal collection.

Stanisic's book appeared in Springer's Universitext series, while Brekhovskikh & Goncharov's is Vol. 1 of the Springer Series in Wave Phenomena.  Chorin & Marsden's classic text appears as Vol. 4 in the series Texts in Applied Mathematics.  Constantinescu's book appears in Springer's Mechanical Engineering Series, while Rieutord's appears in the series Graduate Texts in Physics.  Other classics include Langlois' Slow Viscous Flow, Daniel D. Joseph's two-volume Stability of Fluid Motions (which appeared in the now-defunct series, Springer Tracts in Natural Philosophy), and Swinney & Gollub's edited Topics in Applied Physics volume, Hydrodynamic Instabilities and the Transition to Turbulence.  Students of hydrodynamic instability will also note Chossat & Iooss' The Couette-Taylor Problem, and Schmid & Hennigson's Stability and Transition in Shear Flows, both of which appeared in the aforementioned Applied Mathematical Sciences series as vols. 102 and 142, respectively.  The current (4th) edition of Marcel Lesieur's Turbulence in Fluids appears in Springer's Fluid Mechanics and its Applications series.
