Reynolds 1883 — An experimental investigation of the circumstances which determine whether the motion of water shall be direct or sinuous
chain
O. Reynolds (1883). An experimental investigation of the circumstances which determine whether the motion of water shall be direct or sinuous. Philos. Trans. R. Soc. 174 (1883) 935–982. DOI 10.1098/rstl.1883.0029. Canonical: https://doi.org/10.1098/rstl.1883.0029. Cited by its record. License as found: public domain (the author died more than a century ago, or the work was published before 1930). What it gave the chain: the Reynolds number: the one dimensionless ratio that decides laminar from turbulent.
