    Benedetto Castelli, a student of Galileo Galilei, published an influential book on hydrodynamics in 1619 called "On the Measurement of Running Waters", which was foundational to modern hydrodynamics. He went on to serve as a chief consultant to the Pope on river management projects beginning in 1626. Blaise Pascal studied fluid hydrodynamics and hydrostatics in the 1600s, developing Pascal's law which states that for an incompressible fluid at rest, differences in pressure are proportional to differences in height and remain the same regardless of overall pressure changes applied to the fluid. His discoveries led to important inventions like the hydraulic press.

    Modern era (c.

    1600 – 1870)[edit]
    Benedetto Castelli[edit]
    In 1619 Benedetto Castelli, a student of Galileo Galilei, published the book Della Misura dell'Acque
    Correnti or "On the Measurement of Running Waters", one of the foundations of modern
    hydrodynamics. He served as a chief consultant to the Pope on hydraulic projects, i.e., management of
    rivers in the Papal States, beginning in 1626.[30]

    Blaise Pascal[edit]
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662) studied fluid hydrodynamics and hydrostatics, centered on the principles of
    hydraulic fluids. His discovery on the theory behind hydraulics led to the invention of the hydraulic
    press by Joseph Bramah, which multiplied a smaller force acting on a smaller area into the application
    of a larger force totaled over a larger area, transmitted through the same pressure (or same change of
    pressure) at both locations. Pascal's law or principle states that for an incompressible fluid at rest, the
    difference in pressure is proportional to the difference in height and this difference remains the same
    whether or not the overall pressure of the fluid is changed by applying an external force. This implies
    that by increasing the pressure at any point in a confined fluid, there is an equal increase at every other
    point in the container, i.e., any change in pressure applied at any point of the fluid is transmitted
    undiminished throughout the fluids.
