Summary Volume IV of the High Speed Aerodynamics and Jet Propulsion series. Contents of this volume include: Introduction, by F.K. Moore; Laminar Flow Theory, by P.A. Lagerstrom; Three-Dimensional Laminar Boundary Layers, by A. Mager; Theory of Time-Dependent Laminar Flows, by Nicholas Rott; Hypersonic Boundary Layer Theory, by F.K. Moore; Laminar Flows with Body Forces, by Simon Ostrach; Stability of Laminar Flows, by S.F. Shen. Originally published in 1964. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905
