Stokes, Sir George Gabriel

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.

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... 

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.

Flnorescence spectroscopy, although not a new teclmique, is stiU, compared to other analytical methods, relatively immature in terms of standardization of measurement. As mentioned in Chapter 1, the birth of fluorescence spectroscopy was marked by the work of Sir George Gabriel Stokes, who in 1852 reported his studies on quinine bisulfate using what today would be considered a filter fluorimeter arrangement, as shown in Figure 5.1. 

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.
