Blowing Up Euler
The mathematics of fluid dynamics still have many unknowns, which makes them an attractive playground for mathematicians of all stripes. One perennial area of interest is the Euler equations, which Keep reading
Breaking the Euler Equations
Mathematicians like to break things. Or, more exactly, they like to know when the equations we use to describe physics break down. One popular target in fluid mechanics are the Keep reading
