Fluid Mechanics Texts: White, Segel, Tritton, L&L, Aris

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on recommendations for good texts in a specific field, highlighting several authors and their works. Segel is noted as a highly recommended Dover book that is easy to find and well-regarded. Tritton receives mixed reviews, with some finding it lacking in derivation, making it hard to generalize results. Lamb's work is described as an encyclopedia, dense and challenging to understand. Landau and Lifgarbagez are mentioned as acceptable alternatives, but Segel is preferred for its affordability. Overall, Segel stands out as a favored choice among the texts discussed.

I don't like White very much. I can't find Segel or Tritton anywhere. Any recommendations?
 
Segel is a Dover book and should be easy to find. Plus, it's very good.

Tritton, I did not like so much. Not exactly sure why... it seemed that results were just provided without any derivation, making it difficult to generalize results.

Lamb is the encyclopedia. Very dense and difficult to parse.

Landau and Lifgarbagez is fine, biu Segel is less expensive.
