The book introduces the fundamentals of fluid-mechanics, momentum theories, vortex theories and vortex methods necessary for the study of rotors aerodynamics and wind-turbines aerodynamics in particular. Many analytical flows are derived in details: vortex rings, vortex cylinders, Hill's vortex, vortex blobs etc.
