Hstorical Study on the Theoretical Development of FluidMechanics in the Eighteenth Century

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

In this study, I have considered the development process of mechanics in the Eighteenth century, particularly the birth of fluid mechanics. Although classical mechanics is said to appear in the Seventeenth century, it is the Eighteenth century that its two basic approaches - equation of motion and conserved quantities (energy, momentum, and angular momentum) have appeared. I have examined that these approaches haven't been treated integrally in solving the problems on motions of body such as fluid, and that their developments have had close relations with the appearance of coordinate system and calculus of multivariable functions.
