Navier-Stokes equations

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Navier-Stokes equations has not yet been heard in an analyzed podcast episode.

The Navier–Stokes equations 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 the same results.
