		After completing this research Stokes discovered that Duhamel had already obtained similar results but, since Duhamel had been working on the distribution of heat in solids, Stokes decided that his results were obtained in a sufficiently different situation to justify him publishing.
		Stokes' work on the motion of pendulums in fluids led to a fundamental paper on hydrodynamics in 1851 when he published his law of viscosity, describing the velocity of a small sphere through a viscous fluid.
		Stokes became engaged to marry Mary Susanna Robinson, the daughter of the astronomer at Armagh Observatory in Ireland.

		This culminated in Stokes' law, F = 6rv, which applies to a force acting on a sphere falling through a liquid, where is the liquid's viscosity and r and v are the radius and velocity of the sphere.
		In 1852 Stokes gave the first explanation of the phenomenon of fluorescence, a term he coined.
		Stokes was born in Sligo, Ireland; he studied at Cambridge, where he became professor of mathematics 1849.

	Encyclopedia: Navier Stokes equations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In fluid dynamics, the Navier-Stokes equations, named after Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes are a set of nonlinear partial differential equations that describe the flow of fluids such as liquids and gases.
		For example: they model weather or the movement of air in the atmosphere, ocean currents, water flow in a pipe, as well as many other fluid flow phenomena.
		The equations can be converted to Wilkinson equations for the secondary variables vorticity (additional info and facts about vorticity) and stream function (additional info and facts about stream function).
