Preface
Overview As happens in almost all the physics sectors today, there are plenty of books and online material and whatever on fluid dynamics. As hinted in the subtitle of the Eckert’s book The dawn of fluid dynamics, this discipline is between science and technology and in this textbook, we decided to combine science with a proper emphasis on the applications. As a matter of fact, the book draws heavily on a course that one of us taught for a few years at an undergraduate level. The preparation of the lectures required a quite important commitment, in particular, to find insightful examples that could raise the students’ interest. Hence, we provide all along examples and applications from various fields such as aerodynamics, geophysics, life sciences, sports and so on, but often related also to everyday life. Some of us learned physics on the Feynman Lectures books and we were particularly impressed by the chapters dealing with the flow of dry water and the flow of wet water. The present book will start out from tho
