This multi-media product is intended to provide an interactive tool for teaching undergraduate fluid mechanics for students in engineering and the basic sciences. Funded by the National Science Foundation and written and prepared by an international group of experts, this CD-ROM includes experiments that demonstrate fluid mechanical phenomena, animations of important principles and concepts, virtual laboratories in which students acquire data from the images, interactive computational exercises in which parameters may be varied, and other descriptive and illuminating material on applications. The coverage is at the level of the Navier-Stokes Equations, but much of the material is accessible to lower level courses as well. The material is conveyed in an attractive and interactive way, with descriptive and developmental text accompanying all the videos and animations. The product is intended to complement any of the standard text books and uses notation and definitions that are standardized to the maximum extent possible. The material may be accessed randomly through a hyperlinked text, a search engine, a video library, and a glossary of terms.
