His Leçons sur l'Hydrodynamique (Lessons on Hydrodynamics), published under the auspices of the Chair of Fluid Mechanics and Applications (founded by the Under-Secretariat of State for Aeronautics), is an essential textbook for the study of fluids in motion. The work addresses the fundamental principles of hydrodynamics, with a particular focus on applications.
