Luigi Sante Da Rios


Luigi Sante Da Rios was an Italian mathematician and physicist who worked on fluid dynamics.
In his 1906 work "Sul moto d'un liquido indefinito con un filetto vorticoso di forma qualunque", he presented the basic equations for the vortex filament model, today used to simulate quantised vortex lines in superfluids.
From 1938 to 1944 he held the course of Analytical Mechanics at Istituto superiore di Architettura in Venice.
In 1944 he was removed from this position, probably due to his anti fascist political views.
