Hydrodynamics (literally, "water motion") is Fluid Dynamics applied to Liquid s, such as Water , Alcohol , Oil , and Blood . (However, this distinction from fluid dynamics as a whole is not always fully observed). Blaise Pascal in the 1600s contributed some of the initial theory to this field. The term originates from the work of Daniel Bernoulli , based on the title of his work called ''Hydrodynamica'' ( 1738 ). He and Leonhard Euler established the general equations of hydrodynamics. The practice was continued by Joseph Louis Lagrange ( 1736 - 1813 ) with the Euler-Lagrange system, Jean Le Rond D'Alembert ( 1717 - 1783 ) discovered the Cauchy-Riemann Equations , Pierre Simon Laplace ( 1749 - 1827 ) with the governing equation in the Potential Flow named after him, Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand Von Helmholtz ( 1821 - 1894 ) and William Thomson , Lord Kelvin ( 1824 - 1907 ) with Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (see also Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov) and Helmholtz's work on vortices.
