title: Prandtl-guidebook to fluid dynamics
review text: This is a completely revised, updated and enlarged 10th edition of the well-known standard book on fluid mechanics first published by Ludwig Prandtl in 1931. Since there is no need to list all the merits of this classical work [for the review of the 8th ed. see (1984; Zbl 0613.76001)], we concentrate here only on new additions. The most important are: chapter 7 ``Instabilities in fluid mechanics''; chapter 12 ``Biological fluid dynamics''; subchapters ``Topology of fluid flow'' and ``Non-Newtonian flows''. Additionally, essentially revised are chapter 9 by \textit{U. Müller} ``Multiphase flows'', chapter 10 by \textit{J. Warnatz} and \textit{U. Riedel} ``Flows with chemical reactions'', and chapter 11 by \textit{D. Etling} ``Atmospheric flows and ocean flows''.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINETo summarize, editor H. Oertel jun. and his colleagues have produced a well-balanced book, which, in the spirit of Prandtl, presents practically all relevant modern trends in ``non-computational'' fluid mechanics.
