Download or read book Biological and Bio-Inspired Fluid Dynamics written by David E. Rival and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides the reader with tools necessary to study biological and bio-inspired flows, all the while developing an appreciation for their evolutionary and engineering constraints. It is suitable for students already exposed to introductory concepts in fluid mechanics and applied mechanics as a whole, but who would not need an advanced training in fluid mechanics per se. Currently no textbook exists that can take students from an introductory position in fluid mechanics to these contemporary topics of interest. The book is ideal for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students studying a range of engineering domains as well as biology, or even medicine.
