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 stability analysis of compressible Navier-Stokes equations is vital for understanding the behaviour of viscous, compressible flows in various physical settings. Research in this area investigates ...

The Navier-Stokes equations are fundamental in fluid dynamics, describing the motion of incompressible viscous fluids. Their analysis is critical for understanding turbulence, stability, and flow ...

The famed Navier-Stokes equations can lead to cases where more than one result is possible, but only in an extremely narrow set of situations. For nearly two centuries, all kinds of researchers ...

The irregular, swirling motion of fluids we call turbulence can be found everywhere, from stirring in a teacup to currents in ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of physics that utilizes numerical methods and algorithms to analyze and predict the behavior of fluids and gases under various conditions. This field ...

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 ...

George Gabriel Stokes was born in Sligo 200 years ago, but his influence is still writ large across science and technology today. In fact, it felt a little strange to ask scientists how Stokes has ...
