G.I. Taylor, one of the most distinguished physical scientists of
this century, used his deep insight and originality to increase our
understanding of phenomena such as the turbulent flow of fluids.
His interest in the science of fluid flow was not confined to
theory; he was one of the early pioneers of aeronautics, and
designed a new type of anchor that was inspired by his passion for
sailing. Taylor spent most of his working life in the Cavendish
Laboratory in Cambridge, where he investigated the mechanics of
fluid and solid materials; his discoveries and ideas have had
application throughout mechanical, civil, and chemical engineering,
meteorology, oceanography and materials science. He was also a
noted research leader, and his group in Cambridge became one of the
most productive centers for the study of fluid mechanics. How was
Taylor able to be innovative in so many different ways? This
interesting and unusual biography helps answer that question.
Professor Batchelor, himself a student and close collaborator of
Taylor, is ideally placed to describe Taylor's life, achievements
and background. He does so without introducing any mathematical
details, making this book enjoyable reading for a wide range of
people--and especially those whose own interests have brought them
into contact with the legacy of Taylor.
