A Treatise On The Motion Of Vortex Rings: An Essay To Which The Adams Prize Was Adjudged In 1882, In The University Of Cambridge (1883) - Paperback

""A Treatise On The Motion Of Vortex Rings"" is a book written by Joseph John Thomson and published in 1883. The book is an essay that won the Adams Prize in 1882 at the University of Cambridge. The essay discusses the motion of vortex rings, which are circular regions of rotating fluid that are often seen in turbulent flows. Thomson provides a detailed analysis of the dynamics of these rings, including their formation, propagation, and interaction with other rings. The book is written in a technical style and is intended for readers with a strong background in physics and mathematics. It is an important contribution to the study of fluid dynamics and has been influential in the development of modern theories of turbulence and vortex dynamics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
