Research Work in Germany: Surveying the Important Results on the Motion of Incompressible Fluids Recently Achieved by Aerodynamic Research Workers

THIS paper aims at giving the most important results of modern German research upon the motion of incompressible fluids. Before dealing with the latest developments, I have thought it advisable to give a short account of the older researches upon which the present work is based. It is hoped that this résumé will give a fairly complete survey of the methods that have led to the present insight into the hydrodynamical mechanism.
