After-dinner speech by Ryszard Herczynski, 6.9.2001 Let me start by thanking Konrad Bajer and Keith Moffatt for this op- portunity to speak to you. Both Konrad and Keith are members of the same Cantabrigian family. Konrad obtained his Ph.D. from Moffatt, Keith from Batchelor, George from the 'Pater Familiae', G.I. Taylor. This sounds already like a biblical story: Abraham begat Isaac, Isaac begat Jacob, Jacob begat Judas and his brethren, and so on. Only Taylor had never got Ph.D., apart the usual honorary ones. There was no Ph.D. degree when G.I. graduated from Cambridge Uni- versity nor did he have a mentor in fluid mechanics. G.I. chose for himself this subject, and excelled in asking pertinent and important questions. Thus, already in his 1917 paper, in the language of the day, he wrote about singularities occurring in turbulence, the very subject you came to discuss in Zakopane. And it was here in 1963 that the Sixth Fluid Dynamics Symposium was held, organised by the Polish Academy of Sciences. That meeting, 38 years ago, was a rather modest affair, but it was a turning point of a kind. It was the first conference in the series to be attended by scientists from the West. Western participants were greeted without applause but with deep satisfaction. We all understood the importance of breaking the imposed isolation of Polish mechanics. That scientist who had the courage to cross the Iron Curtain first was George Batchelor. He drove from England in a huge, old car, with his entire family and his doctoral student, Keith Moffatt. I had met George and Keith two years earlier, when I came to Cam- bridge for a year-long visit. As a child, I read sentimental stories about Cambridge, about Newton and the apple. These stories I kept in mind during the war, and the real Cambridge fully confirmed my almost myth- ical expectations. It was then a tranquil, welcoming place. A student going to London or elsewhere for a weekend would leave his or her bicy- cle at the railway station, without a chain or padlock, and would be sure to find it waiting in the same place upon return. Since then, Cambridge has become a major tourist attraction, and tranquility has become a rare commodity. To preserve their normal rhythm of life, colleges are forced to limit the number of visitors. Some charge admission, other close their gates to outsiders altogether. The old atmosphere of openness and trust is giving way to the brave new world. And the perspectives are bleak.

After-dinner speech by Ryszard Herczynski, 6.9.2001

Let me start by thanking Konrad Bajer and Keith Moffatt for this op-portunity to speak to you. Both Konrad and Keith are members of thesame Cantabrigian family. Konrad obtained his Ph.D. from Moffatt,Keith from Batchelor, George from the 'Pater Familiae', G.I. Taylor.This sounds already like a biblical story: Abraham begat Isaac, Isaacbegat Jacob, Jacob begat Judas and his brethren, and so on.

Only Taylor had never got Ph.D., apart the usual honorary ones.There was no Ph.D. degree when G.I. graduated from Cambridge Uni-versity nor did he have a mentor in fluid mechanics. G.I. chose for himselfthis subject, and excelled in asking pertinent and important questions.Thus, already in his 1917 paper, in the language of the day, he wroteabout singularities occurring in turbulence, the very subject you cameto discuss in Zakopane.

And it was here in 1963 that the Sixth Fluid Dynamics Symposiumwas held, organised by the Polish Academy of Sciences. That meeting,38 years ago, was a rather modest affair, but it was a turning point of akind. It was the first conference in the series to be attended by scientistsfrom the West. Western participants were greeted without applause butwith deep satisfaction. We all understood the importance of breakingthe imposed isolation of Polish mechanics. That scientist who had thecourage to cross the Iron Curtain first was George Batchelor. He drovefrom England in a huge, old car, with his entire family and his doctoralstudent, Keith Moffatt.

I had met George and Keith two years earlier, when I came to Cam-bridge for a year-long visit. As a child, I read sentimental stories aboutCambridge, about Newton and the apple. These stories I kept in mindduring the war, and the real Cambridge fully confirmed my almost myth-ical expectations. It was then a tranquil, welcoming place. A studentgoing to London or elsewhere for a weekend would leave his or her bicy-cle at the railway station, without a chain or padlock, and would be sureto find it waiting in the same place upon return. Since then, Cambridgehas become a major tourist attraction, and tranquility has become a rarecommodity. To preserve their normal rhythm of life, colleges are forcedto limit the number of visitors. Some charge admission, other close theirgates to outsiders altogether. The old atmosphere of openness and trustis giving way to the brave new world.

only visible shield is mass culture which ignores past art, past architec-ture, and to an even greater extent ignores science and places where itwas and still is born. Fortunately most US and Russian citizens - andalso most citizens around the world - are as little interested in seeingCambridge, UK, as are their Presidents, Mr. Bush and Mr. Putin. ThusGod save Cambridge and let us pray for the spread of mass culture.

More seriously, Cambridge and some other old universities symbol-ise for me the best tradition of pursuing science and learning. GeorgeBatchelor and G.I. are examples of high ethical standard of scientists. Itseems that these traditions and standards are now challenged, that scien-tific curiosity gives way to demands for speedy careers, that publicationof results preceded by careful analysis of previous accomplishments andending with a thorough discussion, as still found in the papers of JFM,are replaced by notes formulating results whose importance should betaken for granted. The cumulative character of science, its main achieve-ment since the Baconian revolution, is thus endangered.

My stay in Cambridge triggered, I dare to think, close relations be-tween George and the Polish fluid mechanics community. Of course,I can hardly claim credit for this because it was mainly the work ofGeorge and his group and of Wladek Fiszdon and his team in Poland. Iam happy that these relations are still maintained.

Many years after the conference in Zakopane, I asked George if, being25 again, he would still choose fluid mechanics, this classical and (asone may say) nearly fossilised branch of physics, as his field of research?The answer came immediately, in his usual style. Yes, if G.I. Taylorwere around.

My question shows that I missed the point that the art of our tradelies in part in finding new ways of asking the same questions. Eventhe question raised by Newton about the falling apple is not yet fullyanswered. The fluid mechanics you are discussing here, although I knowlittle about it, seems to me the most attractive subject, both in its scopeand its methods. It would be, of course, great to have some new Taylorto pave the way forward. I believe that he will come. Perhaps he isalready among you.

All this goes to say that we should not tire of unsolved problems, norof asking the same questions, ‘why’ and ‘how’. These are the apparentlynaive questions that annoying children ask over and over again. Until,that is, they learn to take things for granted. But it is a true gift to retaina childlike wonder and curiosity, and to derive an undiminished pleasurefrom figuring things out. This is the gift G.I. was blessed with. Let mewish you a meeting that keeps this spirit of doing science alive, withmany naive questions and hopefully some not entirely naïve answers.

My own life in fluid mechanics has been bi-polarised to some extentbetween Warsaw and Cambridge; but Fluid Mechanics is of course aworld-wide activity, and it is a particular pleasure for me to see suchstrong representation at this meeting from so many countries of theworld - USA, Japan, Australia, France and many others. Welcome toPoland and to Zakopane, and I wish you all every success in your con-tinuing efforts to bring deeper understanding to fluid dynamics, in allits richness and diversity.

Extract from reply by Keith Moffatt

The choice of Zakopane for this Symposium brings back very happymemories of a previous (1963) meeting in Zakopane that I was privi-leged to attend. This was one of the early biennial meetings on FluidMechanics organised in Poland by Wladek Fiszdon and his colleagues atIPPT (Warsaw), that did so much to sustain scientific contact betweenEast and West during the long Cold War years.

My research adviser, George Batchelor, came by car from Cambridgeto Zakopane with his wife and three children, and offered me the lastspace in the car, which I gladly accepted. It was a memorable jour-ney! The Proceedings of the meeting (Arch. Mech. Stosowanej, vol. 2,1964) remind me that Richard Herczyriski (whom I thank for his kindremarks) lectured on Knudsen number effects in rarefied gases, and thatGeorge Batchelor lectured on diffusion from a point source in a turbu-lent boundary layer (a beautiful piece of work that is perhaps not as wellknown as it should be). I lectured myself on corner eddies in Stokes flow(which I am glad to see reappear in a three-dimensional geometry atthis Symposium!). It is salutary to recognise that so many fluid dynam-ical problems, particularly those involving turbulence, that were alreadyunder investigation 40 years ago, remain still unsolved to this day; it isperhaps a tribute to the structural stability of our subject! The frontiersof research move slowly, but we may hope that this Symposium will dosomething to accelerate the process.

I'd like to thank Konrad Bajer for the immense care that he hastaken in all the arrangements for the Symposium, and for his personalattention to detail which I know we have all appreciated, and which hasensured its outstanding success, both scientifically and socially.

Series Editor: R. Moreau

Aims and Scope of the Series

The purpose of this series is to focus on subjects in which fluid mechanics plays a fundamental role.As well as the more traditional applications of aeronautics, hydraulics, heat and mass transfer etc.,books will be published dealing with topics which are currently in a state of rapid development,such as turbulence, suspensions and multiphase fluids, super and hypersonic flows and numericalmodelling techniques. It is a widely held view that it is the interdisciplinary subjects that will receiveintense scientific attention, bringing them to the forefront of technological advancement. Fluids havethe ability to transport matter and its properties as well as transmit force, therefore fluid mechanicsis a subject that is particularly open to cross fertilisation with other sciences and disciplines ofengineering. The subject of fluid mechanics will be highly relevant in domains such as chemical,metallurgical, biological and ecological engineering. This series is particularly open to such newmultidisciplinarydomains.
