Title | Manuscript, 'On impact with a liquid surface' by Arthur Mason Worthington |
Date | 1882 |
Description | Worthington writes: 'The present paper contains an account of the splash of a drop falling into a liquid, which claims attention not only on account of its frequent occurrence in nature but also because it is known to result in many instances in the formation of a vortex ring within the liquid -- always an interesting phenomenon of fluid motion.'
Annotations in pencil and ink throughout. Includes six pages of figures and a letter dated 8 July [1882].
