Labels:text | screenshot | font OCR: On this page Leonardo addresses the fluid dynamics of water with the idea of measuring its velocity in quantitative terms. His descriptions of waves breaking and bouncing back take into account the complexity of their compound motion in both visual and geometric terms. We can follow his geometric analysis of the action of rebounding waves as a three-dimensional curling motion; as the wave descends from a higher point, it converges toward the center of a lunar curvature: "A wave does not bend or break on the side of
