Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis Background Information Born in June of 1792, Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis gained recognition through multiple accomplishments involved with the laws of motion and several publications of mathematical theory. Dealing with extremely poor health, Coriolis was raised and educated in Nancy, France, after which he attended the Ecole Polytechnique in 1808. Upon graduating, he furthered his education at the Ecole des Ponts et Chaussees (School of Bridges and Sidewalks) and continued forward with the "engineering corps." Certain conditions required Coriolis to support his family by accepting a position tutoring analysis at the school which he had formerly attended, the Ecole Polytechnique. Following his employment at the alma mater, he became a mechanics professor at the Ecole Centrale Des Artes et Manufactures, where he also became enwrapped in research. Coriolis later returned to the Ecole Des Ponts et Chaussees, also as a professor in applied mechanics, yet more so concentrating on the research he was already deeply invested in. He was promoted several times, holding positions such as chair of the school, "Academie de Sciences," and director of studies. Eventually, his health conditions denied him the opportunity to continue with the positions and responsibilities that he had taken on and soon after, he died. The following are his two most reputable works:

wdc@mountwashington.org Gustave Gaspard de Coriolis lived from 1792 to 1843. He was a smart guy. Using just a pen, paper and mathematics, he figured out why the wind turns, curves, and goes around in circles. It is because of a force called - what else - the Coriolis force. Monsieur Coriolis figured out something basic, but tricky to understand. To make it easier, here you can explore the Coriolis force with gadgets, games, and stories.

This would, of course, be important information if you were ever kidnapped and blindfolded and dropped off in a strange land. If we assume a commode of conventional size, then this "toilet bowl test" will fail because the answer lies in the manufacturer's design. But if your toilet bowl were a few hundred miles in diameter, then the Coriolis force of the rotating Earth would easily overcome the random water currents and force the bowl to empty its contents in a counterclockwise swirl. If you had Southern Hemisphere friends with an equally large toilet, then theirs would indeed empty in the opposite (clockwise) direction. The circulation within oversized flush toilets is a natural consequence of of motion on the surface of an object that rotates. We owe our detailed understanding of the effect to the French engineer and mathematician Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis, who, in 1835, described the laws of mechanics in a rotating reference frame.

Entre 13 h et 17 h, le bateau sera amarré au quai 19 du Bassin Louise (près de l'écluse), pour y recevoir les visiteurs. Des étudiants et des chercheurs, qui utilisent le navire pour leurs travaux de recherche, expliqueront à quoi sert tout l'équipement qui s'y trouve et comment se déroule la vie à bord pendant les missions scientifiques. Le Coriolis II Coriolis II à Québec marque "le début d'une ère nouvelle, où la communauté scientifique uvrant dans le milieu marin a enfin accès à un équipement régional de qualité internationale", souligne Jacques Locat, professeur au Département de géologie et de génie géologique.

17 octobre 2002 L'Université Laval a déjà été propriétaire d'un navire de recherche dans les années 1970. Lorsque le vieux remorqueur a rendu l'âme, les chercheurs ont dû se résigner à louer des bateaux pour mener leurs expéditions de recherche sur le Saint-Laurent. "Le résultat est qu'on faisait moins d'océanographie au Québec", résume Louis Fortier, professeur au Département de biologie et directeur du Groupe interuniversitaire de recherche océanographique du Québec (GIROQ). "En devenant propriétaire d'un navire, on a plus de contrôle sur le service, et les coûts d'utilisation sont moins élevés." Basé à Rimouski, le Coriolis II sera géré par Reformar, un organisme à but non lucratif créé par le consortium universitaire. JEAN HAMANN

Physics Faces Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis “Coriolis entered the Ecole Polytechnique in 1808. After graduation he served for several years in the corps of engineers (of the Ponts et Chausees). In 1816 he started his teaching career. He was an attentive, effective and solicitous teacher. He was also a bachelor and invalid. As a result of studying formulations of dynamical problems in rotating machinery he was led to consider the effect of changes of coordinate systems in analytical mechanics. The result of these studies was presented to the Academie des Sciences on June 6, 1831. A French oceanographic vessel was named after hin in 1963.” From: An Introduction to the Coriolis Force by H. Stommel and D. Moore, Columbia Univ. Press, 1989.

54. The Coriolis Force In 1835, gustaveGaspard coriolis, a French scientist, first described mathematically what's going on, giving his name http://www.windpower.dk/tour/wres/coriolis.htm

The Coriolis Force Since the globe is rotating, any movement on the Northern hemisphere is diverted to the right, if we look at it from our own position on the ground. (In the southern hemisphere it is bent to the left). This apparent bending force is known as the Coriolis force . (Named after the French mathematician Gustave Gaspard Coriolis 1792-1843). It may not be obvious to you that a particle moving on the northern hemisphere will be bending towards the right. Consider this red cone moving southward in the direction of the tip of the cone. The earth is spinning, while we watch the spectacle from a camera fixed in outer space. The cone is moving straight towards the south. Below, we show the same image with the camera locked on to the globe. Look at the same situation as seen from a point above the North Pole. We have fixed the camera, so that it rotates with the earth. Watch closely, and you will notice that the red cone is veering in a curve towards the right as it moves. The reason why it is not following the direction in which the cone is pointing is, of course, that we as observers are rotating along with the globe. Below, we show the same image,with the camera fixed in outer space, while the earth rotates.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Branch of Science Physicists ... Barran Coriolis, Gaspard-Gustave (1792-1843) This entry contributed by Michel Barran Cauchy Navier Dulong Coriolis studied mechanics and engineering mathematics, in particular friction hydraulics , machine performance, and ergonomics. He introduced the terms ` work and ` kinetic energy with their present scientific meaning. It is not the ideas of 'work' for which Coriolis is best remembered, however, rather it is for the Coriolis force which appears in the paper "Sur les équations du mouvement relatif des systèmes de corps" (1835). In this paper, Coriolis showed that the laws of motion could be used in a rotating frame of reference if an extra force called the Coriolis acceleration is added to the equations of motion. The theorem enunciated by him regarding relative motions has found numerous applications, particularly in the case of motion on the surface of the Earth (e.g., the deviation toward the east of falling bodies, the apparent rotation of the plane of vibration of a Foucault pendulum etc.).
