Applied Physics 298r A fluid dynamics tour 46 5 April 2004 In fact: an improved history
• Fluid motions due to gradients in surface were first properly described by James Thomson in 1855 On certain curious motions observable at the surfaces of wine and other alcoholic liquors
• James Thomson was the older brother of William Thomson (who will appear later in the talk)
Applied Physics 298r A fluid dynamics tour 47 5 April 2004 Conclusions
• Continuum descriptions of fluid-like systems begin with momentum statement involving stress (Cauchy equation) • For Newtonian fluids the starting point is the Navier-Stokes equations which is commonly studied assuming the density and viscosity are constant • Common geometric configurations, including thin films, are well studied and ammenable to analysis • Many common features among areas of complex fluids, suspensions, lubricating films, etc.
