Sinopse

Water Park Physics explores the fascinating intersection of fluid dynamics and mechanical engineering in the design of water park attractions. It reveals the physics that makes these recreational spaces possible, from the laminar flow in lazy rivers to the turbulent rush of water slides. Did you know that understanding Newtonian mechanics is crucial for ensuring ride safety, and that Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are used to optimize water slide profiles? The book uses real-world case studies and data to support its arguments.

 
The book progresses through three sections, beginning with fundamental concepts like pressure and viscosity, then applying these to specific attractions such as wave pools. Finally, it delves into advanced design considerations like sustainable water management. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how physics impacts the safety, sustainability, and thrill of water park experiences.

 
By merging theory with practical applications, Water Park Physics offers valuable insights for both professionals and enthusiasts, bridging the gap between scientific principles and amusement park fun.

Megalodon The: The History and...

Editors Charles River

As scary as the shark in Jaws is, the extinct megalodon had teeth three times the length of those found within the jaws of a great white shark, so a human would only have been a small snack. In fact, the megalodon was capable of swallowing a small car. Known to scientists as Otodus megalodon or Carcharocles megalodon (otodus meaning “tooth shaped like an ear”; carcharocles meaning “well known for jaggedness”; and megalodon meaning “big tooth”), this predator lived approximately 23–3.6 million years ago), from the early Miocene Epoch to the early Pliocene Epoch. The genus name Otodus and the family name Otodontidae are now the most commonly used, but scientific literature remains full of the older designation, and many of the shark experts regard the new family designation as flawed.  
	For many years, megalodon was thought to be more closely related to the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), and though both are still part of the order Lamniformes, the two species now reside in different families: Lamnidae and Otodontidae (megalodon). Either way, while great white sharks can reach sizes of 20 feet long and nearly 2.5 tons in weight, the average megalodon was twice as big, and some of them may have been about three times as big. The sheer size allowed it to target prey as big as whales, and the massive jaw allowed it to simply tear through any kind of body with no regard for the prey’s most vulnerable spots.  
	While all of that seems to be beyond dispute, almost everything else about the history of the megalodon is up for debate, from its origins to its extinction.  The Megalodon: The History and Legacy of the World’s Largest Prehistoric Predator covers that expansive history in detail, from what is known to what remains most mysterious.
