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 ...
Erica Grace Cabanilla, my ERDT administrator, who took charge of all my stipends, reminded me gently that I am supposed to give my exit report on Jan. 26 as Visiting Researcher, although my ...
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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
1. Fluid Mechanics II (MECH 361), 3.5 Credits: Differential analysis of fluid flows, vorticity, stream function, stresses, and strains. Navier-Stokes equations and solutions for parallel flows.
In math and computer science, researchers have long understood that some questions are fundamentally unanswerable. Now physicists are exploring how even ordinary physical systems put hard limits on ...
