Best Book on Fluid Dynamics? |
I'm interested in hearing any comments, pro or con,
about books on fluid dynamics.

Not knowing anything about your background or goals, the only two I'd
recommend are Segel's "Mathematics Applied to Continuum Mechanics" and
Chandrasekar's "Hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic stability". Both are
incredibly clearly written. Plus, they are available as Dover reprints
(i.e. cheap).

Dover always has the best bang for the buck.
You can also check out whatever they're selling to kids at the top
engineering/physics schools. Go to their university web sites and track
down the course numbers. Then go to their bookstores' web sites and get
the names of the books.
If you live in big city, you can go to your local university library and
grab up the first text you can find, published in the 1990's or 2000's.
Whatever you do, don't waste your time on White.
