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 ...

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 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 ...
