Page 260 - ... declination, and the consequent variations in it indicate a fortnightly (or, in the case of the sun, a semi-annual) tide. There is also introduced a diurnal tide whose sign depends on the declination. The reader will have no difficulty in examining these points, by means of the general value of Q given in the Appendix. 184. In the case of a uniform canal encircling the globe (Arts. 181, 182) there is necessarily everywhere exact agreement (or exact opposition) of phase between the tidal elevation...
Page 343 - Thus a particle moving in a circle about a centre of force varying inversely as the cube of the distance...
Page 13 - It is to be remarked that the quantities a, b, c need not be restricted to mean the initial co-ordinates of a particle ; they may be any three quantities which serve to identify a particle, and which vary continuously from one particle to another.
Page xv - The fundamental property of a fluid is that it cannot be in equilibrium in a state of stress such that the mutual action between two adjacent parts is oblique to the common surface.
Page 190 - Putting then <©=EW, (24) and remarking that E is independent of the coordinates of the movable solids, we may put — W in place of <© in the equations * Proposition I. of article " On the Forces experienced by Solids immersed in a Moving Liquid,
Page 567 - Considering the very wide range of values of the rates of distortion over which these experiments extend, we can hardly hesitate to accept the equations in question as a complete statement of the laws of viscosity.
Page 565 - Pa ................ (2) Hence the arithmetic mean of the normal pressures on any three mutually perpendicular planes through the point P is the same. We shall denote this mean pressure by p*. Again, resolving parallel to y, we obtain the third of the following symmetrical system of equations : These shew that Pn = Pn> Pxx = Pa, P*v = Pvx, as was proved independently in Art.
Page 600 - The pressure of the cylinder on the fluid continually tends to increase the quantity of fluid which it carries with it, while the friction of the fluid at a distance from the cylinder continually tends to diminish it. In the case of a sphere, these two causes eventually counteract each other, and the motion becomes uniform. But in the case of a cylinder, the increase in the quantity of fluid carried continually gains on the decrease due to the friction of the surrounding fluid, and the quantity carried...
Page 50 - The motion of a liquid moving irrotationally within an (n + 1)ply continuous space is determinate when the normal velocity at every point of the boundary, and the values of the circulations in the n circuits, are given. This is proved by an application of Green's extended formula (7) of § 57, showing, as the simple formula (1) of the same section showed us in § 61 for simply continuous space, that the difference of the velocity potentials of two motions...
Page 25 - Differentiating the first of these with respect to y, and the second with respect to x and subtracting, we eliminate p, and find (2) The fluid therefore rotates as a whole about the axis of z with constantly accelerated angular velocity, except in the particular case when B=B'.
