Description

Fluid Mechanics: A Very Short Introduction Eric Lauga explores the fundamental physical concepts that govern the behaviour of fluids in motion and at rest. This introduction to fluid mechanics uses everyday phenomena, such as dripping taps and swimming ducks, to demonstrate key ideas and illustrate their applications in various fields. From chemistry and biology to mathematics and engineering, fluid mechanics interacts with many scientific disciplines, making it an essential field for understanding the natural and industrial worlds. Lauga highlights the role of fluid motion in these areas and considers future applications of fluid mechanics in science. This book is part of the Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press, which offers pocket-sized guides to almost every subject area. With expert authors combining facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm, this introduction provides a concise and accessible overview of fluid mechanics.
