A Study of Splashes by A. M. Worthington

Description

A Study of Splashes by A. M. Worthington is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the behavior of liquid splashes through a series of photographic experiments, particularly focusing on how various factors such as drop size and fluid viscosity influence splash formations. Worthington takes a meticulous approach to examining the phenomena observed, presenting both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The opening of the work introduces the author’s motivation for studying splashes and the method of using instantaneous photography to capture the dynamics of liquid behavior. It discusses the challenges faced in photographing splashes due to their rapid changes in form and the innovative techniques devised to overcome these obstacles. The author conveys his enthusiasm for the beauty and complexity of splashes, inviting readers to appreciate the elegance of natural phenomena that are often overlooked in everyday life.
