The Navier-Stokes equations capture in a few succinct terms one of the most ubiquitous features of the physical world: the flow of fluids. The equations, which date to the 1820s, are today used to ...
The axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations describe the motion of incompressible fluids under the assumption of rotational symmetry around a fixed axis. This reduction in dimensional complexity retains ...
Jim Denier receives funding from the Australian Research Council. MILLENNIUM PRIZE SERIES: The Millennium Prize Problems are seven mathematics problems laid out by the Clay Mathematics Institute in ...
The Navier-Stokes equations describe simple, everyday phenomena, like water flowing from a garden hose, yet they provide a million-dollar mathematical challenge. Physics contains equations that ...
Two mathematicians prove that under certain extreme conditions, the Navier-Stokes equations output nonsense. The Navier-Stokes equations capture in a few succinct terms one of the most ubiquitous ...
Turbulent times This visualization of fluid flow was made using laser-induced fluorescence. (Courtesy: C Fukushima and J Westerweel/Technical University of Delft/CC BY 3.0) The Navier–Stokes partial ...
Partial differential equations can describe everything from planetary motion to plate tectonics, but they’re notoriously hard to solve. Unless you’re a physicist or an engineer, there really isn’t ...
