About This Book
This book is a general introduction to fluid mechanics in the form of biographies and popular science. Based on teaching perception and experience
for many years, the author tries a compilation mode that combines natural
science and human history, knowledge inheritance and cognition law, breaks
the abstract and profound knowledge of fluid mechanics, and starts with intuitive and understandable physical concepts. The history of fluid mechanics
and basic knowledge are organically combined in a way from shallow to
deep and from the surface to the inside. The book includes the basic knowledge and development history of the basics of fluid mechanics, aerodynamics,
hydrodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, experimental fluid dynamics,
wind tunnel and water tunnel equipment, flying mystery and aerodynamics
principles, personages of fluid mechanics, etc., in order to provide references
for stimulating the interest of beginners and comprehensively understanding
the development of fluid mechanics.
This book is suitable for all people who love fluid mechanics, including
teachers, graduate students, and undergraduates of colleges and universities; technicians in various industries related to fluid mechanics; and science
enthusiasts. Some of the contents in the book are also applicable to middle
school students.
