Contents:

Diverging trends before the twentieth century -- The beginnings of fluid dynamics in Göttingen, 1904-1914 -- Aviation and the rise of aerodynamics in the First World War -- The internationalization of fluid mechanics in the 1920s -- A "working program" for research on turbulence -- Aerodynamics comes of age -- New applications -- Prandtl, fluid dynamics and National Socialism -- New centers -- Fluid dynamics on the eve of the Second World War.

Action note: digitized 2010 committed to preserveSummary: This is the first publication to describe the evolution of fluid dynamics as a major field in modern science and engineering. It contains a description of the interaction between applied research and application, taking as its example the history of fluid mechanics in the 20th century. The focus lies on the work of Ludwig Prandtl, founder of the aerodynamic research center (AVA) in Göttingen, whose ideas and publications have influenced modern aerodynamics and fluid mechanics in many fields. While suitable for others, this book is intended for natural scientists and engineers as well as h.
