A Century of Fluid Mechanics in The Netherlands, 1st ed. 2019
One hundred years after Burgers? appointment in Delft, Dutch fluid mechanics is still very much alive. This volume gives a full account of its rich history and also offers a view on the broad range of areas of application: transport, energy production, biology and medicine, production processes, etc. It has been written not only for those working in this field but also for those interested in the history of Dutch science and in the development of science and the fascinating world of fluid flow phenomena.
Chapter 1 Introductory Remarks.- Chapter 2 Coping with Air and Water in The Netherlands before 1918.- Chapter 3 The Making of A ‘New’ Branch in Science and Engineering.- Chapter 4 Developments after 1955.- Chapter 5 Research in Fluid Mechanics: Flows.- Chapter 6 Research in Fluid Mechanics: Approaches.- Chapter 7 Capita Selecta.- Chapter 8 Epilogue (Glossary, Sources, About the Author)
