Water Parks
This title introduces readers to Water Parks. A short history of water parks is included as are the components of effective water park design such as drop, curve, gravity, friction, and lubrication, and safety features. Notable water parks from around the world are examined including Noah's Ark, World Waterpark, Aldeia das Aguas Park Resort, Tropical Islands, and Walt Disney World's Blizzard Beach. Elements of a waterpark are highlighted, such as waterslides, wave pools, water coasters, surfing simulators, and water catapults. Xtreme facts provide additional information on this exciting sport. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. A&D Xtreme is an imprint of Abdo Publishing Company, a division of ABDO.
Water Park Physics
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.
