Some resources that will be useful throughout the quarter:

• The videos: Here is a link to the online versions of the videos that we will be showing in the discussion sections. The films made by the National Committee for Fluid Mechanics Films are awesome: the content is VERY good and the old school style is hilarious!

• Prof. Lim's (National University of Singapore) webpage (vortex rings)
  
• Prof. Dalrymple's (University of Delaware) webpage (wave applets)
