Exploring the Biofluiddynamics of Swimming and Flight
by David Lentink - Wageningen University
Many organisms move through water or air in order to survive and reproduce. It is useful to analyze fluid motion as a collection of vortices: vortices interact with the moving organism, interact with each other, and evolve independently in time.

Why the Boundary of a Round Drop Becomes a Curve of Order Four
by A. N. Varchenko, P. I. Etingof - American Mathematical Society
This book concerns the problem of evolution of a round oil spot surrounded by water when oil is extracted from a well inside the spot. It turns out that the boundary of the spot remains an algebraic curve of degree four in the course of evolution.

Microfluidics
by Philippe Marmottant - Wikibooks
Microfluidics is the science of fluid flows at the microscopic scale. This book will deal with the basic physical principles involved in microfluidics. We hope it will provide a background knowledge to consult more specialized books or article.
