13-525: Coriolis may refer to: Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis (1792–1843), French mathematician, mechanical engineer and scientist Coriolis force , the apparent deflection of moving objects from a straight path when viewed from a rotating frame of reference Coriolis (crater) , a lunar crater Coriolis (project) , a French operational oceanographic project Coriolis (satellite) , an American Earth and space observation satellite launched in 2003 Topics referred to by

26-505: A classic on the subject. Coriolis's name began to appear in the meteorological literature at the end of the 19th century, although the term " Coriolis force " was not used until the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the name Coriolis has become strongly associated with meteorology, but all major discoveries about the general circulation and the relation between the pressure and wind fields were made without knowledge about Gaspard Gustave Coriolis. Coriolis became professor of mechanics at

39-425: A mathematically usable form (1821), making it available to the field of construction with sufficient accuracy for the first time. In 1819 he succeeded in determining the zero line of mechanical stress, finally correcting Galileo Galilei 's incorrect results, and in 1826 he established the elastic modulus as a property of materials independent of the second moment of area . Navier is therefore often considered to be

52-546: A textbook, Calcul de l'Effet des Machines ("Calculation of the Effect of Machines"), which presented mechanics in a way that could readily be applied by industry. He established the correct expression for kinetic energy, ½mv , and its relation to mechanical work . During the following years, Coriolis worked to extend the notions of kinetic energy and work to rotating systems. The first of his papers, Sur le principe des forces vives dans les mouvements relatifs des machines (On

65-471: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis Coriolis was born in Paris in 1792. In 1808 he sat the entrance exam and was placed second of all the students entering that year, and in 1816, he became a tutor at the École Polytechnique , where he did experiments on friction and hydraulics . In 1829, Coriolis published

78-575: Is one of the 72 names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower . Claude-Louis Navier Claude-Louis Navier (born Claude Louis Marie Henri Navier ; French: [klod lwi maʁi ɑ̃ʁi navje] ; 10 February 1785 – 21 August 1836) was a French Civil engineer , affiliated with the French government , and a physicist who specialized in continuum mechanics . The Navier–Stokes equations refer eponymously to him, with George Gabriel Stokes . After

91-484: The École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in 1829. Upon the death of Claude-Louis Navier in 1836, Coriolis succeeded him in the chair of applied mechanics at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées and to Navier's place in the Académie des Sciences . In 1838, he succeeded Dulong as Directeur des études (director of studies) in the École Polytechnique . He died in 1843 at the age of 51 in Paris . His name

104-622: The Corps des Ponts et Chaussées. He directed the construction of bridges at Choisy, Asnières and Argenteuil in the Department of the Seine, and built a footbridge to the Île de la Cité in Paris . His 1824 design for the Pont des Invalides failed to leave a safety margin on top of his calculations, and after cracking the bridge had to be dismantled, destroying Navier's bridge-building reputation. He

117-480: The death of his father in 1793, Navier's mother left his education in the hands of his uncle Émiland Gauthey , an engineer with the Corps of Bridges and Roads (Corps des Ponts et Chaussées) . In 1802, Navier enrolled at the École polytechnique , and in 1804 continued his studies at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées , from which he graduated in 1806. He eventually succeeded his uncle as Inspecteur general at

130-517: The principle of kinetic energy in the relative motion in machines), was read to the Académie des Sciences (Coriolis 1832). Three years later came the paper that would make his name famous, Sur les équations du mouvement relatif des systèmes de corps (On the equations of relative motion of a system of bodies). Coriolis's papers do not deal with the atmosphere or even the rotation of the Earth, but with

156-513: The transfer of energy in rotating systems like waterwheels. Coriolis discussed the supplementary forces that are detected in a rotating frame of reference and he divided these forces into two categories. The second category contained the force that would eventually bear his name. A detailed discussion may be found in Dugas. In 1835, he published a mathematical work on collisions of spheres: Théorie Mathématique des Effets du Jeu de Billard , considered

169-553: Was chastised by a government committee for relying too much on mathematics. In 1824, Navier was admitted into the French Academy of Science . In 1830, he took up a professorship at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, and in the following year succeeded the exiled Augustin Louis Cauchy as professor of calculus and mechanics at the École polytechnique. Navier formulated the general theory of elasticity in
