Book reviews
{1} PEREGRINE, D.H. (1998), Jl of Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 357, pp. 380-381. {Read Full Review}
"A succinct phrase to describe the topic of this book is 'white water' [...]. For each type of flow there is a description of the fluid flow pattern followed by a summary of available measurements. [...] The author is concerned in ensuring readers are aware of the difficulties associated with the extrapolation of data from experiment to prototype. [...] Interesting results appear in the comparisons with experiments and with the corresponding single-phase shear flows. The author has served a useful purpose in bringing so much material together on this topic. [...] Overall this is a book with a very practical base but one that should also interest researchers, since, unlike most textbooks which present that which is known and understood, this book presents many flow features that are worthy of further study."

{2} WOOD, I.R. (1997), Jl of Hyd. Engrg., ASCE, Vol. 123, No. 12, p. 1176.
"High speed air-water flows are important to engineers in almost all disciplines and Hubert Chanson has produced an excellent book that summarises and analyses the experimental data that is available to date. This is a great service to the profession [...]. It will be referred to by a range of Chemical, Civil, Environmental, Mechanical and Mining engineers and will be required reading for anyone doing research in this area. The book is well written and illustrated. [...] For an active research worker it is great that [...] general results are drawn together. [...] In summary, this is a well written book on a very difficult subject. It gives a clear development of the present state of the art and should be required reading for people doing research in this area."

Appendix F. Boundary layer calculations

Logarithmic velocity profile : In the turbulent zone, the roughness effect implies a 'downward shift' of the logarithmic velocity distribution (law of the wall) : i.e., D₂ < 0 (e.g. SCHLICHTING 1979, p. 620). For large roughness, the laminar sublayer (i.e. inner region) disappears and the flow is said to be 'fully-rough'.

Equation (G-22) should be :
    n_T = K/6 * V_* * Y₉₀            (G-22)
which yields the classical result : n_T = 0.067 * V_* * Y₉₀. Equation (G-23) becomes :
    D_t/n_T  =  6/K * D^*                (G-23)
Figures 10-12, 18-2B & G-5 and Tables 10-9 & 18-2 must be corrected by a factor 3.
