description: "Alfred Barnard Basset FRS was a British mathematician working on algebraic geometry, electrodynamics and hydrodynamics. In fluid dynamics, the Basset force—also known as the Boussinesq–Basset force—describes history effects on the force experienced by a body in unsteady motion. He also worked on Bessel functions: the term Basset function was at one time used for modified Bessel functions of the second kind but is now obsolete."
