Abstract
Differences in the behaviour of a real fluid from that of the ideal fluid of classical hydrodynamics arise primarily from the existence in the real fluid of the property of viscosity. Other distinguishing features of real fluids, such as their surface tension and their capacity to vaporize, result in marked differences in behaviour from that of an ideal fluid in certain circumstances, but the effects of viscosity are present to a greater or lesser degree in all cases of fluid flow and it is these effects which are the objects of study in the present chapter.
