"He was like a man who awoke too early in the darkness, while the others were all still asleep." (V. Sigmund Freud, 1916) The curiosity of humankind in physics of fluid is a maturing concept. Human and nature have been carrying out a great collaboration to sustain a proper daily life. Though we rarely cause fatal consequences on nature and show our animosity, we intuitively know that we cannot keep living without it. As in the 21st century, humanity has reached to the mindset that we ought to protect our nature as being our precious mother. Until Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) who was very fond of physics behind the motion, there wasn’t any mathematical expression regarding the motion of fluid except Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). Yet da Vinci hadn’t conducted any remarkable mathematical studies on paper; experiments, observations, and drawings generated by him were indeed excellent. He accordingly foresaw the equation of conservation of mass in one-dimension [1]. If you want to describe da Vinci with a sentence thoroughly, it would then be appropriate saying “the man who knows how to observe” and might be gone over with the word “observer”. In this article, I would like to introduce studies conducted by da Vinci in the field of fluid flow that I would also try testify the greatness of the renaissance man and the scientific artist. Who is Leonardo da Vinci?Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, also known as Leonardo da Vinci, was an Italian renaissance man who had tried to figure out on any topic interested him. The word of versatile should have come from him curiosity. Invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history, and cartography are only a few keywords attracted da Vinci for some reason. Let’s get in the adventure of this genius man: |
