Synopsis

Over 400 beautiful black-and-white photographs, collected from around the world, illustrate the great diversity of fluid motion. Flows ranging from creeping to hypersonic speeds, in both the laboratory and Nature, are observed directly, or made visible using smoke, ink, bubbles, particles, shadographs, schlieren, interferometry, and other techniques. Succinct captions describe the essential features of each flow.
