Navier–Stokes equations: Applications & Art

The Navier–Stokes equations (/nævˈjeɪ ˈstoʊks/ nav-YAY STOHKS) describe the motion of viscous fluids. This system of partial differential equations was named after Claude-Louis Navier and George Gabriel Stokes, who developed them over a few decades of progressive work, from 1822 (Navier) to 1842–1850 (Stokes). Siméon Denis Poisson independently achieved…
