Finite element methods (FEM) have emerged as a pivotal class of numerical techniques for solving the Navier–Stokes equations, the mathematical foundation for modelling fluid flow. These methods ...
Nearly 200 years ago, the physicists Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes put the finishing touches on a set of equations that describe how fluids swirl. And for nearly 200 years, the ...
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 ...
Partial differential equations can describe everything from planetary motion to plate tectonics, but they’re notoriously hard to solve. Ms Tech | Science Photo Library via AP Unless you’re a physicist ...
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 ...
Finite Element Methods (FEM) have emerged as a pivotal computational tool in the simulation of incompressible flows and the Navier-Stokes equations. By discretising the domain, these techniques offer ...
