Abstract
THE original edition of this work, published in 1879 under the title of a “Treatise on the Mathematical Theory of the Motion of Fluids,” gave the first impulse to the cultivation in this country of the modern developments of Vortex and Cyclic Motion, with their Electromagnetic Analogues, the Discontinous Jets of Helmholtz and Kirchhoff, the Dynamical Theory of the motion of perforated solids through a liquid, and the examination, as far as possible, of the effects of Viscosity. Previous writers had confined themselves to simple applications of the principle of Parallel Sections, to the bodily rotation of liquid, especially of Ellipsoids, and to simple cases of Wave Motion and of Tidal Phenomena.
Hydrodynamics.
By Horace Lamb, Professor of Mathematics in the Owens College, Manchester. (Cambridge: University Press, 1895.)
