Talk:History of fluid mechanics

Rename and merge?
It has been suggested that this article be renamed History of fluid mechanics and, possibly, merged with Hydraulics. Please comment. Biscuittin (talk) 19:36, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * My preference would be to move Hydromechanics to History of fluid mechanics, and after that redirect Hydromechanics to Fluid mechanics. Of course, much is missing at the moment to make it a full history of fluid mechanics: Prandtl, Rayleigh, Kelvin, Helmholtz, Navier, St. Venant, Stokes, etc. are missing in the 19th century part; Eytelwein and others seem to have been forgotten; while the 20th century is missing completely.
 * Hydraulics is an out-of-balance problem on itself (giving no information on hydraulics, and giving a history effectively until about 1600). But its strong focus with regards to its history on "innovations" makes me hesitant on including that into the history of the science of fluid mechanics. Perhaps a similar split-off History of hydraulics may help to really start with an article on hydraulics. But that is apart from what is to be done with this article. -- Crowsnest (talk) 20:12, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with Crowsnest's suggestion. There's already a "Brief history" section of the fluid mechanics article - linking this article to there might spark some further work on it.  Djr32 (talk) 17:09, 19 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I've moved the article as suggested, and made Hydromechanics a redirect to Fluid mechanics. As noted above, there's still quite a bit to be done on this article to make it a complete history of fluid mechanics, especially w.r.t. work done in the last 150 years!

 * Thanks for the move! And the associated edits. -- Crowsnest (talk) 12:30, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Images
There are many fluid dynamics pictures in wikipedia, this page could be better if someone added more to this history page.MaoGo (talk) 09:25, 23 November 2017 (UTC) Also it would be nice if its more centred in ideas and not personalitiesMaoGo (talk) 13:10, 23 November 2017 (UTC).

Navier-Stokes?
How is it even possible that this article does not mention Navier-Stokes equation?--ReyHahn (talk) 10:49, 1 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree. I'll add a section for it just to start off. 2601:2C7:4300:A77:4506:3A49:69D7:AAA8 (talk) 05:48, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
