Riassunto

The first release of Multimedia Fluid Mechanics broke new ground by providing a cross-platform, interactive, visual resource, of use and appeal to students and professional alike. By helping users to visualise the enormous complexity of fluid flows, it complemented traditional mathematical treatments and enabled users literally to get a picture of the phenomenon in question. This new issue takes advantage of developments in technology to broaden the appeal by including, on one disk, versions in English, Spanish and French.

Recensione:

'Homsy and his colleagues have now provided us with a new and powerful teaching aid ... This CD is an ambitious project, and, in my view, it has been accomplished with remarkable success ... I have no doubt that this CD-ROM should be regarded as a 'set text' for viscous fluid mechanics courses at the undergraduate or starting graduate levels.' J. M. Rallison, Journal of Fluid Mechanics

'It is impossible to do justice in a short review to the range of video clips available ... A student could learn a lot from browsing through the material on his or her own PC ... Overall I liked the CD very much indeed, and at the price it represents excellent value. It should be snapped up immediately by university lecturers, students and school Physics departments.' Richard Bridges, Mathematical Gazette

'... a superb rendition of some of the most important concepts in fluid mechanics, including an excellent library of flow visualization pictures ... the CD is very moderately priced ... This reviewer estimates the ratio (educational value to cost) to be (almost) infinite ... this reviewer highly recommends the CD to both instructors as well as students ... Multi-Media Fluid Mechanics is an excellent study-companion ... it is also a bargain.' T. F. Balsa, Applied Mechanics Review

'... a very useful addition to standard fluid mechanics courses for undergraduate students.' Oleg Titow, Zentralblatt für Mathematik
