Excerpt from Treatise on the Motion of Vortex Rings: An Essay to Which the Adams Prize Was Adjudged, in 1882, in the University of CambridgeA. General investigation of the action upon each other of two closed vortices in a perfect incompressible fluid.In this essay, in addition to the set subject, I have discussed some points which are intimately connected with it, and I have endeavoured to apply some of the results to the vortex atom theory of matter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

First published in 1883, Joseph John Thomson's fascinating treatise explores the subject of 'vortex rings'. A vortex ring, also known as 'a toroidal vortex', is a torus-shaped vortex existing within a fluid or gas where the fluid spins along an imaginary axis line that creates a closed loop. Sir Joseph John Thomson (1856 - 1940) was an English physicist and Nobel Laureate in Physics. He is most famous for having discovered and identified the electron, and discovering the first subatomic particle. He also proved that cathode rays were composed of electrons. In 1906, Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the study of the conduction of electricity in gases. Contents include: "Momentum Of A System Of Circular Vortex Rings," "Moment Of Momentum Of The System," "Kinetic Energy Of The System," "Expression For The Kinetic Energy Of A Number Of Circular Vortex," "Rings Moving Inside A Closed Vessel," "Theory Of The Single Vortex Ring," "Expression For The Velocity Parallel To The Axis," "Due To An Approximately," "Circular Vortex Ring," etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.

About the Book Collections of Essays are anthologies that have been compiled in order to demonstrate the works of a number of essayists. The list of essayists who have been active throughout the world and throughout time, is extraordinary. Also in this Book The family saga chronicles the lives of a family, or several related or interconnected families, over an extended period of time. This may be in a novel or a sequences of novels with a serious theme, and is set against the background of historical events, changes of social circumstances, or the rise and fall of fortunes. The typical family saga follows a family through several generations in a series of novels. And in this Book A short story collection is a book that contains short stories written by a single author. It is distinguished from an anthology of fiction, which includes stories by more than one author. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades. While these books may have occasional imperfections, we consider that only hand checking of every page ensures readable content without poor picture quality, blurred or missing text etc. That's why we: republish only hand checked books; that are high quality; enabling readers to see classic books in original formats; that are unlikely to have missing or blurred pages. You can search "Leopold Classic Library" in categories of your interest to find other books in our extensive collection. Happy reading!

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
