Book Description:

This 2003 book describes and teaches the art of discovering scaling laws, starting from dimensional analysis and physical similarity. It demonstrates the concepts of intermediate asymptotics and the renormalisation group as natural consequences of self-similarity and shows how and when these notions and tools can be applied, and when they cannot.
