Fluid Mechanics

A Very Short Introduction

De: Eric Lauga

Narrado por: Liam Gerrard

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. A quintessential interdisciplinary field of science, it interacts with many other scientific disciplines, from chemistry and biology to mathematics and engineering.

This Very Short Introduction presents the field of fluid mechanics by focusing on the underlying physical ideas and using everyday phenomena to demonstrate them, from dripping taps to swimming ducks. Eric Lauga shows how this set of fundamental physical concepts can be applied to a wide range of flow behaviors and highlights the role of fluid motion in both the natural and industrial worlds. This book also considers future applications of fluid mechanics in science.

Easy to understand for beginners

Eric made complexity of fluids sound simple. Highly recommend this audible book for all those seeking understanding.

Interesting and fun

This was not bad BUT going through derivations was hard. I think this book would have rocked if it just focused and the theory.
