AI Thread Summary
Claude Navier's two works on fluid motion, "Sur les lois des mouvements des fluides, en ayant égard à l’adhésion des molecules" (memoire 1) and "Sur Les Lois du Mouvement des Fluides" (memoire 2), were both written in 1821, with the second published in 1822. Memoire 1 is significant for introducing the viscous term μ∇²u, which is crucial for understanding fluid dynamics. However, there is difficulty in locating a PDF of memoire 1, as it appears to be unpublished. The formulation discussed in the thread aligns with Navier's contributions in memoire 1, although the exact notation may differ. Overall, these works laid foundational principles for the Navier-Stokes equations.

I am interested what are main differences/news in two Claude Navier works "Sur les lois des mouvements des fluides, en ayant égard à l’adhésion des molecules"- memoire 1 and "Sur Les Lois du Mouvement des Fluides" memoire-2?

Are both works written(not published) in 1821? Does memoire 1 introduced visocus term μ∇2u?

I cant find pdf of memoire 1..

"Sur Les Lois du Mouvement des Fluides"
https://perso.crans.org/epalle/M2/EC/Histoire/Navier1822MemoireSurLesLoisDuMouvementDesFluides.pdf

Is this formulation(dont have to be same notation) what Navier introduced in 1821 memoire 1?

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...
Scalar and vector potentials in Coulomb gauge Assume Coulomb gauge so that $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A}=0.\tag{1}$$ The scalar potential ##\phi## is described by Poisson's equation $$\nabla^2 \phi = -\frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}\tag{2}$$ which has the instantaneous general solution given by $$\phi(\mathbf{r},t)=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\int \frac{\rho(\mathbf{r}',t)}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r}'|}d^3r'.\tag{3}$$ In Coulomb gauge the vector potential ##\mathbf{A}## is given by...
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (First part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8 and stuck at some statements. It's little bit confused. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. Solution : The surface bound charge on the ##xy## plane is of opposite sign to ##q##, so the force will be...
