Topics ranging from hydrodynamic stability, turbulence, and magnetohydrodynamics to analytical and numerical approaches in calculating compressible flow problems were presented in invited talks at a conference on hydrodynamics held October 16–18, 1958, at Los Alamos, N. M. Sponsored by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory of the University of California, the meeting was attended by forty visiting scientists and as many LASL staff members. All sessions of the meeting were open and unclassified and were held in the auditorium of the Laboratory Administration Building.
