Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to review the importance of fluid dynamics research and its impact on science and technology. Here we consider four particular areas of study, namely environmental fluid mechanics, turbulence, nano- and microfluids, and biofluid dynamics, with deeper emphasis on environmental flows. Each of these topics is illustrative of how improved scientific knowledge of fluid dynamics can have a major impact on important national needs and worldwide economies, as well as help developed nations to maintain their leadership in the production of novel technologies.
