All this knowing that his mechanics has no forces and no pressures as well, and that the fluids are aggregates of individual particles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essay \u003ci\u003eA New Theory of the Resistance of Fluids\u003c\/i\u003e was a turning point in Fluid Mechanics because clearly, for the first time, the resistance is shown as the results of a fluid subjected to differential equations in a continuous mode instead of a set of impacts of individual particles. This contribution has been recognized by the scholars. However, only partial attention has been p\u003c\/p\u003eaid to this work, which can be justified due to the difficulty in its reading and also because it was eclipsed by the publication, a few years later, of Euler’s\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ethree\u003ci\u003e Memoirs\u003c\/i\u003e that established modern hydrodynamics.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-01-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319679990\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-68000-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 292\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44499559940236,"sku":"9783319679990","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319679990.jpg?v=1775709877","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319679990","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
