The Wave of Translation

If you have a question about this talk, please contact .

In 1834, the Scottish civil engineer John Scott Russell was conducting experiments to determine the most efficient design for canal boats. In this process, he discovered “that singular and beautiful phenomenon which I have called the Wave of Translation”. In this talk I will discuss the mathematics behind Russell’s discovery and some related ideas in other areas of mathematical analysis and modelling.

This talk is part of the Archimedeans Talks MT25 series.
