Book Description

Excerpt from Elements of the Mathematical Theory of Fluid Motion: Wave and Vortex Motion The subject of Hydrodynamics embraces many of the most difficult problems in the range of physical research. Although, at all times attracting the attention of the greatest minds, it is only within little over a century past that much real progress has been made in the solution of the many and complicated cases presented by the ordinary phenomena of Fluid Motion. The names of Euler, Lagrange and Laplace in the last century, and of Helmholtz, Stokes, Thomson, Rayleigh and Kirchhoff in this, stand out preeminently as those that have done the most to advance the theory to its present position.
