Volume 4: Fluid Mechanics
Take anything in the universe, put it in a box, and heat it up. Regardless of what you start with, the motion of the substance will be described by the equations of fluid mechanics.

Exercises
The exercises below have been created and curated over many decades by members of the
Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. The faculty have
long had a generous policy of making these examples (and indeed exam questions) publicly available.
The examples sheets come from three fluids courses that we teach in the maths degree which (very) roughly
correspond to the first three chapters of the book. In addition, some of the questions come
from a course on Mathematical Biology.
