Is there an English translation version for Weber's classic paper "Zum Zerfall eines Flüssigkeitsstrahles"?
I think the title would be "The disintegration of a liquid sheet" or something.
Maybe an old NACA report?

Original Derivations of Euler Equations or Navier-Stokes Equations
I've seen the derivations for both viscous and inviscid momentum balance in fluid flow in courses, but I'm curious as to where the original derivation for the equations now referred to Euler equations ...

Minimum viscosity of liquids
In a lecture by Purcell he mentions that he notices that there aren't any liquids with viscosities much less than that of water, even though they go up seemingly unbounded. In an endnote (endnote 1 in ...

Bifurcation of convection of fluid in container, when adding temperature
I once read a paper, in which:
a fluid in a container was heated from below,
after reaching temperature $T_1$, a circular motion (convection) was clearly distinguishable, in form of cylinder,
after ...

Video or animation for continuity equation in water pipes
I am looking for an animation or even better a video with a real experiment, which shows that at constant flow rate the speed of water in a pipe is higher at narrower parts of a pipe.
I googled for ...

How do swimfins work?
I'm interested primarly on bifins (one fin for each foot) with a monofin movement, e.g. undulatory.
I'd like to know how they work and where I can find articles/books about it.
