This book is a complete revision of the part of Monin &
Yaglom's famous two-volume work "Statistical Fluid Mechanics:
Mechanics of Turbulence" that deals with the theory of laminar-flow
instability and transition to turbulence. It includes the
considerable advances in the subject that have been made in the
last 15 years or so. It is intended as a textbook for advanced
graduate courses and as a reference for research students and
professional research workers.
The first two Chapters are an introduction to the mathematics,
and the experimental results, for the instability of laminar (or
inviscid) flows to infinitesimal (in practice "small")
disturbances. The third Chapter develops this linear theory in more
detail and describes its application to particular problems.
Chapters 4 and 5 deal with instability to finite-amplitude
disturbances: much of the material has previously been available
only in research papers."
