Inductance Calculations: Working Formulas and Tables

by Frederick W. Grover

Hoping to simplify matters for engineers overwhelmed by inductance calculations, the author brings together an invaluable collection of formulas and tables. For virtually every type of inductor, Dr. Grover provides a single simple formula, together with tables from which essential numerical factors may be interpolated. Starting with a survey of general principles, the text explains circuits with straight filaments; parallel elements of equal length; mutual inductance of unequal parallel filaments and filaments inclined at an angle to each other; and inductance of single-layer coils on rectangular winding forms. Additional topics include the mutual inductance of coaxial circular filaments and of coaxial circular coils; self-inductance of circular coils of rectangular cross section; mutual inductance of solenoid and a coaxial circular filament and coaxial single-layer coils; single-layer coils on cylindrical winding forms; and special types of single-layer coil. 1946 ed.

A series of calculations and tables from the pre-computer era. These days you would run your problem through a finite element package instead. This book doesn't even have much discussion of theory to justify keeping around.

If you want to take a look, it's mostly the same as the National Bureau of Standards bulletin that it is based on (https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/bul...).
