Vortex dynamics and the Navier–Stokes equations constitute a cornerstone of fluid dynamics, offering profound insights into the behaviour of complex flows. Vortices, with their swirling motions and ...
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 ...
For more than 250 years, mathematicians have wondered if the Euler equations might sometimes fail to describe a fluid’s flow. A new computer-assisted proof marks a major breakthrough in that quest.
