The Compressible Fluid Physics of the Human Respiratory System provides a comprehensive exploration of the principles of fluid dynamics, classical mechanics, and their applications to complex systems such as human respiration.
It dives into foundational concepts like Newtonian mechanics and stress-strain relationships, while also addressing advanced topics such as compressible fluid flow, viscosity, and energy conservation. It uniquely combines classical principles with real-world phenomena, such as the behavior of gases, liquids, and solids under various forces and pressures. The inclusion of detailed mathematical derivations, historical context, and empirical models adds depth to the discussion. Its interdisciplinary approach makes it valuable for readers interested in physics, engineering, and biological sciences.
This book is designed for a general audience with an interest in science and medicine irrespective of mathematical background.

Dr. W. R. Matson joined the fire service in 1982 and received his initial emergency medical certification in 1984. He spent the next ten years seeking additional medical training and certifications and serving as a certification instructor for AHA and the Red Cross until an industrial incident ended his service in 1997, after which he returned to school and finished his bachelor's degree in physics in 1999 and doctoral degree in fluid physics in 2004. He has since served as a professor of physics at several universities.
