Life in Moving Fluids

In this revised edition, the author continues to combine humour with clear explanations as he addresses biologists and others interested in biological fluid mechanics, offering updates on the field over the last dozen years and expanding the coverage of the biological literature. His discussion of the relationship between fluid flow and biological design now includes sections on jet propulsion, biological pumps, swimming, blood flow, surface waves, acceleration reaction and Murray's law. This edition contains an extensive bibliography for readers interested in designing their own experiments.
