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 ...

Nonlinearity is often the biggest roadblock to solutions for equations that describe common natural phenomena. So an analytical solution to the Navier-Stokes equations has thus far been possible only ...

Although Navier–Stokes equations are the foundation of modern hydrodynamics, adapting them to quantum systems has so far been a major challenge. Researchers from the Faculty of Physics at the ...

The Navier-Stokes equations explore how all fluids behave, from liquids and gases to weather systems and galaxies. For Dr Hannah Fry they are the perfect example of how powerful mathematics can be ...

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 ...
