As we celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) in 2025, we look back on a century of quantum mechanics—a field that has fundamentally changed the way we understand ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
