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 represent a cornerstone of fluid dynamics, providing a mathematical framework to describe the motion of viscous fluids. These nonlinear partial differential equations ...
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 ...
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 ...
The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in ...
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 ...

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 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 ...
