Magnus, history

One therefore has to decide here which components of the phase interaction force (drag, virtual mass, Saffman lift, Magnus, history, stress gradients) are relevant and should be incorporated in the two sets of NS equations. The reader is referred to more specific literature, such as Oey et al. (2003), for reports on the effects of ignoring certain components of the interaction force in the two-fluid approach. The question how to model in the two-fluid formulation (lateral) dispersion of bubbles, drops, and particles in swarms is relevant...

Modem general histories of Russian science which include some history of chemistry have for the most part, until recently, avoided alchemy as a pseudo-science , more to be condemned as a western aberration than examined historically. Rainov s standard history of science in Russia up to the seventeenth century has no entry in the index for alchemy at all, although he does not ignore the subject entirely the Academy of Sciences standard history of Russian science denies, probably correctly, that Russian craftsmen ever engaged in alchemy or that there is any evidence for the existence of alchemy in Russia before the fifteenth century and Kuzakov in a recent work correctly notes that some non-alchemical works of what he calls, without further comment, the West European alchemists - Albertus Magnus, Ramon Lull and Michael Scot were known in seventeenth-century Russia but incorrectly states, as we shall see, that not a single alchemical treatise in Russian is known.
