Where to buy Wilcox' turbulence book?
 
Hi. I was looking the other day to purchase a copy of Wilcox' book, Turbulence Modeling for CFD, as it is an outstanding reference (if slightly slanted in favor of k-omega), and the copy I used to use belonged to my previous employer. I remember it being sold directly through DCW Industries' website, but dcwindustries.com seem to have been taken over by some bizarre redirect malware. The only copies of the book I could find were on Amazon, and were both used and heinously expensive.


Does anyone know what became of DCW Industries, and/or where a new copy of the book can be ordered? Thanks.

DCW is David C. Wilcox. Wilcox himself sells it on Amazon. If you buy it from Amazon, he tends to autograph them too!

I've been looking to get a copy as well, unfortunately when I was Googling trying to find one at a reasonable price I found an obituary for Dr Wilcox.

Oh, that's too bad. That absolutely explains things, though. Thanks.

Hello guys,

Sorry to re-post this but... Does anybody know/find out where to buy this book?

I was able to found a digital copy online. But the quality is not that good. I have been trying to find a hardcopy of this, but the only one I found is on Amazon which price at 3k dollar.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I think that it is very hard to get an hard copy of this book. I also have a pdf version, but it is not the same as have it shine in my library :( a collegue of mine told me that he got a copy form the dcw industires website, which seems not working actually!

On a non-related topic, do you know where can I get a copy of compressible fluid dynamics (Thompson) or The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Compressible Fluid Flow (Shapiro)? The copies I found so far are extremely expensive.
