After he had made a name for himself with various works he went to the St. Petersburg academy of science in 1725 were he spent a total of eight fruitful years. During this period he wrote important texts on the theory of mechanics, including a first version of his famous treatise on hydrodynamics. In 1733 he became professor in Basel. His famous main work "Hydrodynamica" (Basel 1738) was a milestone in the theory of the flowing bahavior of liquids and gases. The BERNOULLI PRINCIPLE has remained the general principle of hydrodynamics and aerodynamics and forms the basis of modern aviation. Daniel Bernoulli died in his home
