Cancer Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Fluid dynamics experiments are hard to set up. We make do with a nicely structured Archimedes's Principle lab. It's an annoying write-up for the students, though, because I demand treatment of experimental errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
