Oxford Fluid Mechanics: A Very Short Introduction By Eric Lauga (9780198831006)

Description

Fluid mechanics is an important branch of physics concerned with the way in which fluids, such as liquids and gases, behave when in motion and at rest. Starting from the fundamental underlying physical principles, Eric Lauga highlights the role of fluid motion in both the natural and industrial world, and considers future applications.

• Provides an accessible introduction to this important and challenging branch of physics
• Starts from the fundamental underlying physical principles, as demonstrated by everyday phenomena from daily life
• Highlights the role of fluid motion in both the natural and industrial world
• Explores the interdisciplinary nature of the field, and its importance to chemistry, biology, and engineering
