 | | For example, in 1822 Louis Marie Henri Navier (1785-1836), a bridge engineer, was the first to attempt the extension of the Euler equations of acceleration to include the flow of a viscous fluid. |
 | | The same equations were developed with groater comprehension somewhat later by the mathematician Baron Augustin Louis de Cauchy (1789-1857) [30], next by the mechanician Simeon Denis Poisson (1781-1840) [31], and finally in 1845 by the Cambridge professor George Gabriel Stokes (1819 1903) [32], the latter eventually applying the equations to the resistance of small spheres. |
 | | Ably begun by Euler and d'Alembert, the practice was continued by such equally famous men as Lagrange (1736-1813) [44], Laplace (1749-1827) [45], Helmholtz (1821-94) [46], Kelvin (1824-1907) [47], and Rayleigh (1842-1919) [48], as recorded in the many editions of the treatise Hydrodymimics [49] by the Manchester professor Horace Lamb (1849-1934). |
