Originally published in 1941, this book seeks to inform the scientific community of the possible uses of photography in research or teaching. Lawrence gives an account of the possibilities and limitations of the medium for the scientific reader as well as for the 'serious amateur', explains the various mechanisms of the camera and gives some suggestions for scientific applications, such as high-speed photography. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in photography or the history of science.

This book presents topics in a single source format using unified spectral theory of computing. With developments of DNS and LES, practitioners are rediscovering waves as important in fluid flows, and capturing these numerically is central to high accuracy computing. Analysis of waves and its use in numerical methods in propagating energy at the right velocity (dispersion effects) and with right amplitude (dissipation) are essential. Most industrial codes using Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations with turbulence models cannot conceive of capturing waves. The new themes covered in this book are: • Correct error propagation analysis • Practical compact schemes and global analysis tool • Aliasing error and its alleviation • Spurious upstream propagating q-waves • Explanation of the Gibbs phenomenon • New 1D and 2D filters for LES/DNS without SGS modelling • Anisotropic skewed wave propagation • Development and analysis of dispersion relation preservation (DRP) schemes • Flow instabi
