What is the name of the biographer and one-time student of this British physicist and mathematician who discovered the Taylor–Proudman theorem along with Joseph Proudman?
Taylor–Proudman theorem In fluid mechanics, the Taylor–Proudman theorem (after Geoffrey Ingram Taylor and Joseph Proudman) states that when a solid body is moved slowly within a fluid that is steadily rotated with a high angular velocity formula_1, the fluid velocity will be uniform along any line parallel to the axis of rotation. formula_1 must be large compared to the movement of the solid body in order to make the Coriolis force large compared to the acceleration terms.
