A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"The accounts collated in this book...is encouraging, not only for the survival of the great apes, but the many other organisms that share their habitat".
Peter Moore, Bulletin of the British Ecological Society

"Worster is commended for rigorously articulating complex phenomena in these short lectures while unraveling the salient features of fluid dynamics, including flow separation and shear layer roll up due to advection of vortices, to name some examples."
R.N. Laoulache, Choice Magazine

"I found the book a pleasant read, and I could imagine lecturers finding the exposition helpful in providing tips for class material or a different perspective. I enjoyed the tack taken by the author and his selection of topics. The book certainly gives an idea of the wide application of the methods of mathematics and physics to problems in areas ranging from geophysics to engineering."
Neil Balmforth, SIAM Review

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Understanding Fluid Flow takes a fresh approach to introducing fluid dynamics, with physical reasoning and mathematical developments inextricably intertwined. The 'dry' fluid dynamics described by potential theory is set within the context of real viscous flows to give fundamental insight into how fluids behave. The book gives a flavour of theoretical, experimental and numerical approaches to analysing fluid flow, and implicitly develops skills in applied mathematical modelling of physical systems. It is supplemented by movies that are freely downloadable.
