Introductory Fluid Dynamics

In connection with the Matter & Interactions curriculum, I wrote an appendix which covers fluid statics and dynamics in language consistent with the rest of the course.

• M&I Fluids Instructor Guide (includes WebAssign-coded homework assignments and buoyancy lab)
• M&I Fluids Student Chapter

Computational Activities

• I have written Jupyter notebooks for use in conjunction with each chapter in Krane Modern Physics. If you’d like to try them out, contact me.
• https://kedanielslab.github.io/granularimagingclass/ contains hands-on exercises developed during my visit to IISc Banglaore, and taught a second time here at NC State
