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.
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 ...
