His early research was on geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics, beginning with the discovery in 1972 of a magnetic 'field gradient' instability in rotating fluids. [4] In 1976, he discovered the first examples of wave over-reflection (i.e. reflection coefficient greater than unity) in a stable system.

In fluid dynamics, Rayleigh problem also known as Stokes first problem is a problem of determining the flow created by a sudden movement of an infinitely long plate from rest, named after Lord Rayleigh and Sir George Stokes. This is considered as one of the simplest unsteady problems that have an exact solution for the Navier-Stokes equations.
In fluid dynamics, Blasius theorem states that [1] [2] [3] the force experienced by a two-dimensional fixed body in a steady irrotational flow is given by = and the moment about the origin experienced by the body is given by
Elementary flows can be considered the basic building blocks (fundamental solutions, local solutions and solitons) of the different types of equations derived from the Navier-Stokes equations. Some of the flows reflect specific constraints such as incompressible or irrotational flows, or both, as in the case of potential flow , and some of the ...
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to fluid dynamics: . In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids – liquids and gases.
In fluid dynamics, Stokes problem also known as Stokes second problem or sometimes referred to as Stokes boundary layer or Oscillating boundary layer is a problem of determining the flow created by an oscillating solid surface, named after Sir George Stokes.
In fluid dynamics, Bickley jet is a steady two-dimensional laminar plane jet with large jet Reynolds number emerging into the fluid at rest, named after W. G. Bickley, who gave the analytical solution in 1937, [1] to the problem derived by Schlichting in 1933 [2] and the corresponding problem in axisymmetric coordinates is called as Schlichting jet.
