philosophers and scientists of the day, - and seemingly today, yet - repudiated both his theories and methodology, alike. Bacon argued that the only knowledge of importance to man was empirically rooted in the natural world; and that a clear system of scientific inquiry would assure man's mastery over the world.

2.016 Hydrodynamics Reading #4 2.016 Hydrodynamics Prof. A.H. Techet Potential Flow Theory “When a flow is both frictionless and irrotational, pleasant things happen.” –F.M. White, Fluid Mechanics 4th ed. We can treat external flows around bodies as invicid (i.e. frictionless) and irrotational (i.e. the fluid particles are not rotating). This is because the viscous effects are limited to a thin layer next to the body called the boundary layer. In graduate classes like 2.25, you’ll
