Biomimetics for Aviation and Marine Applications helps readers to understand both fundamental and applied aspects of fluid flows in biological and nature-inspired systems.
Key background topics and other essential, physics-specific concepts are covered, as are a wide range of field test studies and numerical simulations of applied fluid dynamics. Examples of novel and bio-improved vehicles for aviation and marine purposes are provided, and the book also discusses future prospects and critical challenges related to the topic.
