FROM THE HISTORY OF PHYSICS

On the history of fluid dynamics: Russian scientific schools in the 20th century

S. K. Betyaev

Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute

Abstract: The history of designing wind tunnels, an isolated wing, as well as both flying and non-flying machines, is reviewed. An analysis is made of those remarkable aerodynamic ideas which have been practically implemented, as well as of those, no less remarkable, ideas which have — so far — remained unfulfilled. The history of theoretical fluid dynamics in Russia is represented as the history of four scientific schools: those of Zhukovsky, Friedmann, Kolmogorov, and TsAGI.
