Highlights:
Fluids are essential to life for transportation of food, waste, signals, organisms and propagules.
Abstract:
In these tutorials, students build a mechanistic understanding of foundational moving fluid ideas (pressure, Bernoulli's equation, and viscosity) which they can then apply to biological situations.
