All Things Flow - Fluid Mechanics for the Natural Sciences
Bill Smyth · Oregon State University
This book on fluid mechanics is concerned with phenomena that we have all been familiar with since childhood: flows you see in sinks and bathtubs, in rivers, and at the beach. Prerequisites include basic linear algebra, differential and integral calculus and Newton’s laws of motion. As we go along we discover the need for the more advanced tools of tensor analysis.
