Fluids
The mechanics of fluids or fluid-like materials is one half of the material of AMATH 361.  In this set of essays I collect some of the basics of fluid mechanics as well as some of my favourite aesthetic material from experiments we have done in our lab and natural phenomena.  The online material is presented at a non-specialist level with linked PDFs providing a more mathematically complete and sophisticated discussion.
1) The trouble with fluids on the web. 2) Turbulence and many degrees of freedom. 3) Hydrodynamic Stability or how we get to turbulence. 4) Stratified fluids - the atmosphere and the ocean part 1 5) Rotating fluids - the atmosphere and the ocean part 2
6) Non Newtonian FluidsWhat%20is%20Applied%20Math.htmlWave%20Motion.htmlshapeimage_6_link_0
