Multimedia Fluid Mechanics

Multimedia Fluid Mechanics by G. M. Homsy. DVD-ROM edition. ISBN: 9780521721691.

Inspired by the reception of the first edition, the objectives in Multimedia Fluid Mechanics 2/e remain to exploit the moving image and interactivity of multimedia to improve the teaching and learning of fluid mechanics in all disciplines by illustrating fundamental phenomena and conveying fascinating fluid flows for generations to come. This completely new edition on DVD includes: *Twice the coverage with new modules on Turbulence, Control Volumes, Interfacial Phenomena, and Similarity and Scaling *Four times the number of fluids videos, now nearly 1000 *Now over 20 Virtual labs and simulations *Dozens of new interactive demonstrations and animations New features: *Improved navigation via side bars that provide rapid overview of modules and guided browsing *Media libraries of each chapter giving a snapshot of videos, each with descriptive labels *Facility to create movie playlists, invaluable in teaching *Higher resolution graphics, with full or part screen viewing options *Operates on PC and Mac OSX. Using the DVD with the Lion and Windows 7 Operating System: Apple has released a piece of software called Rosetta and it adds the functionality required to make the existing DVD work properly with the latest Apple operating Systems and with Windows 7. No additional development work is required. The install of the Rosetta software is automatic if not already installed - the only requirement is that the Mac be online or the user have the original OSX DVD (if not online).
