Abstract
In this chapter, the criterion of self-similarity for the two- and three-dimensional flows and the axially symmetric flows has been derived completely. The construction of similarity variables for these flows has been done in full detail.

Complete in a sense (see Sect. 3.1). This statement does not deny the existence of any other self-similar solution.
