Gallery 1

Here are some of my personal favourite famous sketches and paintings with fluid mechanics aspects in it. Further information regarding these art works can be found on their respective official sources. I also have attached some  journal ​papers title (including fluids) that discuss the physical and mathematical properties for each of them. ​
