Claude-Louis Navier (born Claude Louis Marie Henri Navier, ; 10 February 1785 – 21 August 1836), was a French engineer and physicist who specialized in mechanics. The Navier–Stokes equations are named after him and George Gabriel Stokes. ==Biography== After the death of his father in 1793, Navier's mother left his education in the hands of his uncle Émiland Gauthey, an engineer with the Corps of Bridges and Roads ''(Corps des Ponts et Chaussées)''. In 1802, Navier enrolled at the École polytechnique, and in 1804 continued his studies at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, from which he graduated in 1806. He eventually succeeded his uncle as ''Inspecteur general'' at the Corps des Ponts et Chaussées. He directed the construction of bridges at Choisy, Asnières and Argenteuil in the Department of the Seine, and built a footbridge to the Île de la Cité in Paris. In 1824, Navier was admitted into the French Academy of Science. In 1830, he took up a professorship at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, and in the following year succeeded exiled Augustin Louis Cauchy as professor of calculus and mechanics at the École polytechnique. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claude-Louis Navier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
