Preface
The book is devoted to the Buckingham Pi-theorem and its applications to various
phenomena in nature and engineering. The accent is made on problems character-
istic of heat and mass transfer in solid bodies, as well as in laminar and turbulent
flows of liquids and gases. Such choice is not accidental. It is dictated by the
requirements of modern technology and passes a vast majority of important
problems related with drag and heat transfer experienced by solid
