Stokes, George Gabriel

Stokes, George Gabriel, born 13 August 1819, died 1 February 1903, was Professor of Mathematics in Cambridge when Rayleigh was an undergraduate.

Claude Louis Navier (1785-1836) was a French scientist who, using molecular arguments, derived the equation in 1882 George Gabriel Stokes (1819-1903) was a British physicist who made many contributions to the theory of viscous flow in the period 1845-1850.

We will see in Chapter 11 that in 1850 the British physicist Sir George Gabriel Stokes (1819-1903) proposed a very simple relationship between the diffusion coefficient D and the radius r of the diffusing molecule, on the assumption that it is. spherical. Stokes s law is... 

Stokes, Sir George Gabriel (1819-1903) was Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics (a position once held by Sir Isaac Newton and now held by Stephen Hawking), and a former President of the Royal Society. Stokes was one of the foremost mathematicians of his time and established the field of hydrodynamics. 

Stokes, Sir George Gabriel (1819-1903) British physicist and mathematician, born in Ireland, who worked at Cambridge University all his life. He is best known for Stokes law, concerning the movement of objects in a fluid. The stokes is named after him. 

Typically, kinematic viscosity has a unit of square centimeters per second. The cgs physical unit for kinematic viscosity is the stokes (St) (1 St= 1 cm s = 10 m s ), named after George Gabriel Stokes. It is sometimes expressed in terms of centiStokes (cSt). In US usage, stoke is sometimes used as the singular form.

By combining Eqs. (B.2)-(B.5), one obtains the Navier-Stokes equations (named after Claude Louis Marie Henri Navier und George Gabriel Stokes) in their Cartesian notation ... 

Sometimes mathematical expressions of principles apply almost universally. In physics, for example, the conservation laws indicate that in a closed system certain measurable quantities remain constant mass, momentum, energy, and mass-energy. Lastly, systems of equations are required to describe physical phenomena of various levels of complexity. Examples include English astronomer and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton s equations of motion, Scottish physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell s equations for electromagnetic fields, and Swiss mathematician and physicist Leonhard Euler s and French engineer Claude-Louis Navier and British mathematician and physicist George Gabriel Stokes s (Navier-Stokes) equations in fluid mechanics. 

The Navier-Stokes equations result from the work of Erench engineer Claude-Louis Navier and British physicist George Gabriel Stokes in the mid-nineteenth century. They did not work together, but their equations apply to incompressible flows. The Navier-Stokes equations are still used. At the end of the nineteenth century, Scottish engineer William John Macquorn Rankine changed the understanding of the way fluids... 

In 1843, Adhemar-Jean-Claude Barre de Saint Venant developed the most general form of the differential equations describing the motion of fluids, known as the Saint Venant equations. They are sometimes called Navier-Stokes equations after Claude-Louis Navier and Sir George Gabriel Stokes, who were working on them around the same time.

Other researchers were bringing on alternatives to these drawn and intuitive methods. A sequence of successes attracted talented mathematicians towards research in statics. Studies of differential equations seemed to show that certain of their characteristics, such as critical points, represented physical phenomena, providing otherwise unattainable insights into the nature of structural instability. Among a host of workers, D.J. Jourawski (1821-1891), Gustave Kirchoff (1824-1887), George Gabriel Stokes (1819-1903), Franz Neumann (1798-1895) and William John Macquorn Rankine...
