The Navier-Stokes equations represent a cornerstone of fluid dynamics, providing a mathematical framework to describe the motion of viscous fluids. These nonlinear partial differential equations ...
The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or mathematician to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the ...
Nearly 200 years ago, the physicists Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes put the finishing touches on a set of equations that describe how fluids swirl. And for nearly 200 years, the ...
