Apropos Prandt: Prof. Oertel, the editor of Prandtl’s essentials of Fluid Mechanics, has a bunch of simple to realise fluid related experiments as movie clips for his lectures at the Technical University of Karlsruhe, Germany. He produced also a documentary in German free for download (662 MB!) about applied fluid mechanics.
