Shock formation represents the process whereby smooth solutions to the governing equations of fluid dynamics undergo a transition to discontinuous states. In compressible fluid dynamics, this ...

Vortex dynamics and the Navier–Stokes equations constitute a cornerstone of fluid dynamics, offering profound insights into the behaviour of complex flows. Vortices, with their swirling motions and ...

In pressure relief systems, accurately estimating temperature changes during fluid flow is vital for relief piping ...

Fluid dynamics is "the branch of applied science that is concerned with the movement of liquids and gases," according to the American Heritage Dictionary. Fluid dynamics is one of two branches of ...

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.
