Everything about Hydrodynamics totally explained
Hydrodynamics is a branch of theoretical
fluid dynamics which deals with flow of an
ideal fluid. An ideal fluid is both
incompressible and
inviscid.
Blaise Pascal in the
1600s contributed some of the initial theory to this field. The term originates from the work of
Daniel Bernoulli, based on the title of his work called
Hydrodynamica (
1738). He and
Leonhard Euler established the general equations of hydrodynamics.
The practice was continued by
Joseph Louis Lagrange (
1736-
1813) with the Euler-Lagrange system,
Jean le Rond d'Alembert (
1717-
1783) discovered the
Cauchy-Riemann equations,
Pierre-Simon Laplace (
1749-
1827) with the governing equation in the
potential flow named after him,
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (
1821-
1894) and
William Thomson, Lord Kelvin (
1824-
1907) with
Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (see also the
Rayleigh-Taylor,
Plateau-Rayleigh and
Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities) and Helmholtz's work on vortices.
In
1879,
Horace Lamb's book,
Hydrodynamics, was published, a classic and influential text in the field.
An analogous field of study, the
dynamics of
electrically conducting fluids in magnetic fields is called
magnetohydrodynamics.
