The Euler and Navier-Stokes equations form the cornerstone of fluid dynamics, governing the motion of fluids under a wide range of conditions. The Euler equations describe inviscid flows where ...
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 ...
Mathematicians have suspected for years that under specific circumstances, the Euler equations fail. But they've been unable to identify an exact scenario in which this failure occurs. Until now. The ...
