Abstract
These two volumes of the Selected papers of C. C. Lin are compiled on the occasion of his retirement from active service. The introducing sections entitled "Recollections and comments" which portray the development of C. C. Lin's thoughts on various subjects and place events in historical perspective are given by himself. The selected papers are grouped according to subject. In Vol. 1, the papers belonging to fluid mechanics and applied mathematics are divided into five topics: stability theory, turbulence, general fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, mathematical physics, and essays on applied mathematics. Vol. 2 contains Lin's work in astrophysics, largely concerning the development of the density wave theory for the spiral structure in galaxies. A complete list of C. C. Lin's publications is given in Vol. 2.
