| Title | Unpublished manuscript, 'On discontinuous fluid motion' by J G [John Gaston] Leathem |
| Creator | Leathem; John Gaston (1871-1923); physicist |
| Date | 1917 |
| Description | Leathem writes on the methods of Levy, Levi-Civita, Cisotti and Villat; resultant pressure on an obstacle; general theory based on a formulation in terms of curve-factors, determination of the points of departure of free stream-lines from a curved obstacle; and a principle prevailing in the relation between the shape of an obstacle and its resistance to relative flow.
Includes two pages of geometrical diagrams.
