La théorie de la capillarité selon Laplace / Jean Dhombres.
Abstract:
Laplace's 1805 equation 'remains the fixed point of contemporary works on surface phenomena. The intention of this paper is to account for this scansion of the Laplacian model for mathematical physics by attempting to separate the strictly physical inspiration from the very brilliant progress of the analytical calculation.'
