Reference number: AP/61/7
Date: 1880
Description
Unwin shares a series of experiments relating to the friction of fluids when flowing against rough solid surfaces, including a brief history of the first direct experiments on fluid friction undertaken by [Charles-Augustin de] Coulomb.
Marked on front as 'Archives Feb 24/81'. Includes ten pages of figures of experimental apparatus and results in graph form.
Subject: Physics
Received 31 August 1880. Read 18 November 1880. Communicated by J H [James Henry] Cotterill.
Whilst the Royal Society declined to publish this paper in full, an abstract of the paper was published in volume 31 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society as 'On the friction of water against solid surfaces of different degrees of roughness'.
